Secrets to a long marriage
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:01 am
An elderly couple was observed walking into a Burger King one night. The little old man held the door for his wife, and together, they ordered one hamburger, a small fries and a coke.
As they were watched by a young couple, the man carefully cut the hamburger in half, giving the other half to his wife, he carefully counted the fries, neatly stacking her share next to her half of the burger. Then he took a sip of soda, and so did his wife.
As they were watched, the man took a bite of his burger half, chewing slowly - he nibbled his fries, while his wife watched patiently and waited...not eating a bite and only occasionally taking a sip of the soda. The watching couple could stand it no longer, thinking that the old couple couldn't afford two hamburgers. The young male approached and offered to buy them another meal. The old man replied, "no, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."
The younger couple watched as the old man finished his meal and again approached the old couple, once again offering to purchase them a meal, and again, the old man refused, saying only that they were accustomed to sharing everything. Not being able to stand it any longer, the young couple asked why the old woman had not eaten a single bite of food. She replied, "we are accustomed to sharing everything - and I'm waiting for my turn with the teeth."
