What Marriage is Really All About

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.

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,

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
