Do you always share everything ?

Question

The old man placed order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.
He un - wrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing 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 were looking over and whispering.

Obviously 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 and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple.
The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything.
People closer to the table 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."

Finally, 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 are waiting for?"

She answered

"THE TEETH"

Answer 2

I was once in a very posh restaurant in Positano in Italy and an old couple came in and sat at a table and from a basket produce bread and cheese and bottle of what was obviously their own Wine, the restaurant was full of tourists and I expected them to be asked to leave at the very least, the old lady called the head waiter( who could of course have been their son) over and asked for water to go with their wine, to my delight the waiter brought them a jug of water with a smile and wished them good health.
Can you imagine this happening any where else in Europe or America, I can't.

Sylvia if I hadn't seen your Avatar I would have still known that was you. You surpass yourself each time with your jokes. When I lived in London for a time the people who ran the corner shop only had one set of false teeth and they used to swap over in the shop when one or the other came on duty.That's the truth.

Answer 4

OMG Sylvia that was funny, thank you as ever we always get a good giggle from you. We share everything but we would definately draw the line on dentures! Mind you Tc has been having awful problems getting used a partial top denture and mine was easy for me to get used to so.....................nah it wouldn't work coz he's got quite a few gnashers left of his own at the top and I haven't got any so mine wouldn't fit anyway!

Answer 5

I was trying to figure the punch line and just before I got to the end it occurred to me that the wife was waiting for the teeth. Great, really funny.

Answer 6

Only when I feel the need to...otherwise I eat my food in a room where others won't be offended as I gum my way to happiness. GREAT JOKE! Very appropriate for the situation at hand, eh?
