A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch in a burger bar. He noticed that they ordered one meal, and an extra cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the chips. One for him, one for her, until each had half of them.Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup, and set it in front of his wife. The old man began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap. |

| The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn't have to split theirs. The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We've been married 50 years, and everything always has been and always will be shared, 50/50." The young man than asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "Not yet. It's his turn using the teeth." |
