i found it funny.. enjoy!

Sharing

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds 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 has 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 inhalf. 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 the 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... "The teeth".

LOL! I'd hate to imagine what it would be like if they shared everything

I think they share a bit too much.

When you've been married to someone that long (or you've had children), your definition of what's hygienic changes dramatically, one way or the other. Either everything has to be pristine and perfect (and others call you obsessive-compulsive), or you just realize that the whole world is a giant application of the five-second rule, which really means five seconds after you're able to get to it, and you move on.
