The old man placed order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.
He unwrapped 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

Re: A Sharing Marriage
That's like the time I went to visit my great-aunt in the nursing home. She had a bowl of
of nuts on the stand by her bed and I asked her if I could have a few. So while I was eating
a handful of them, she told me I could have them all. She said that the nuts were too hard
for her to chew, so she just sucked off the chocolate and spit the nuts back in the bowl.......
