A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonald’s one cold evening.
The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries, and a drink.
After they sat down, he unwrapped the hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife. Then, he carefully counted the fries, divided them in two piles, before placing one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip from the drink, and then his wife took a sip. Then, he set the cup down in between them, and finally started to take little bites out of his burger.
All the while, the other customers around them started staring and whispering.
It was clear that they thought, “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 over to the table, and politely offered to buy them an additional meal.
But the old man grunted, and said that they were fine. “We’re used to sharing everything,” he said.
Customers who sat closer to the old lady noticed that she still hadn’t taken a bite out of her food. She just sat there, watching her husband eat.
The young man came over once more, and begged them to let him buy a meal for them.
This time, the old lady spoke. “No, thank you. we are used to sharing every single meal,” she echoed her husband.
Finally, the old man finished his half of the meal. And still, his wife hadn’t taken a single bite.
The young man came over to their table for the third time, and asked the old lady, “What is it that you are waiting for?”
Without looking up or hesitating, she answered: “The teeth.”

“Say, Bob, how did you like the party last night.”
“It was okay, I guess.”
“I admire how you treated you wife, calling her Crisco all night. How did that nickname come about?”
“Crisco’s her party name. At home I call her lard-ass.”
