Subject: Joke - Matrimony <\| < <\| < <\| < < A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald's one cold winter <\| < < evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and young <\| < < couples eating there that night. <\| < < <\| < < Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what <the <\| < < admirers were thinking. "Look, there is a couple who've been through a <\| < < lot together, probably for 60 years or more!" <\| < < <\| < < The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his <\| < < order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took <a <\| < < table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray. <\| < < <\| < < There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. <\| < < <\| < < The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully <\| < < cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he <\| < < carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in 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 the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd <\| < < began to get restless. <\| < < <\| < < Again you could tell what 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 French fries one young man stood <\| < < and came over to the old couples' table. He politely offered to <\| < < buy another meal for the old couple to eat. <\| < < <\| < < The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to <\| < < sharing everything. <\| < < <\| < < Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. <\| < < She just 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 them something to eat. <\| < < <\| < < This time the lady explained that no, they were used to sharing <\| < < everything together. As the little old man finished eating and was <\| < < wiping his face neatly with a napkin the young man could stand it no <\| < < longer. <\| < < <\| < < Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some <\| < < food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a <\| < < question of the little old lady. <\| < < <\| < < "Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything. <What <\| < < is it that you are waiting for?" She answered... <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < (keep scrolling) <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < [This is great] <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < "The teeth". <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < <\| < < Think about that when you advocate married couples sharing everything! <\| < < <\| < < <\| < <
