An elderly couple visit McDonalds. He orders one hamburger, one order
of french fries and one drink.
The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts it in half.
He places one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counts out
the french fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placing one
pile in front of his wife.
He takes a sip of the drink, his wife takes a sip and then sets the
cup
down between them. As he begins to eat his few bites of hamburger, the
people around them keep 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 begins to eat his fries a young man comes to the table. He
politely offers to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man
says they are just fine - they are used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people notice the little old lady hasn't eaten a bite.
She sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally takes turns
sipping the drink.
Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy another
meal
for them. This time the old woman says "No, thank you, we are used to
sharing everything."
As the old man finishes and is wiping his faceneatly with the napkin,
the young man again comes over to the little old lady who has yet to
eat a single bite of food and asks "What is it you are waiting for?"

She answers....

(This is great)

"THE TEETH."
