The old couple went into the takeaway shop and ordered one hamburger,
a minimum of chips and a can of drink. They took their order and sat on
a nearby bench seat.
The man cut the hamburger neatly into two and counted the chips out
carefully into two separate piles. He then took a sip from the can.
She in turn took a small drink from the can.
He then ate his half hamburger and they then both had another
small drink.
He picked up his chips and scoffed them down whereupon they both
had another small sip from the can.
A bystander noticed their behaviour and thought he should do the right
thing and offer to buy them some extra food as it appeared that the
man was doing all the eating and his wife was going to miss out.
The couple protested strongly stating that they always shared
everything and were quite happy in doing so.
The bystander asked, "Well how come your husband is eating the
food and you have only had a couple of sips of drink".
She replied, "I am waiting for my turn to use the false teeth".
