The old man ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. Then he unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'
As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you're waiting for?'
She answered . . . . ..

'THE TEETH.'
And the Thought for the Day!
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.
Sounds good to me!

Cute story! Fortunately we haven't had do indulge in that degree of sharing -- yet! I also like your 'doggie' advice.
I love it.
Oh, you got me. I know I've read this before, but I didn't remember THE TEETH!
LOL too funny and I love the doggie advice. :) Have a great day my friend :)
Thanks for the visit and the laughs! I love the dog philosophy!
I'm smiling ear to ear
Very cute story! But it also tells the value of marraige!
Love your 'doggie' advice ;-)
I've enjoyed catching up on your humorous posts today. The 'walk naked' solution is priceless (sorry I missed the opportunity, but since I don't see an actual DATE ... perhaps it's not too late to share after all?) and the colorful 'medicine' appeals to ME right about now.
Hugs and blessings,
