Cruise-In - had a good turnout at the Summer Avenue McDonalds, last month. But a funny thing happened.

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds. They looked out of place amidst our rowdy bunch. Some of the members looked admiringly at them, thinking, "Look, there is a couple who has been in love most of their lives, probably 60 years or more."

As the woman took a table near the window, the little old man walked up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation, paid for their meal and carried the tray to the table... one hamburger, one order of fries, and one Coke. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, then carefully counted out the french-fries, dividing them into two piles. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then sat the cup down between them. As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger some of the members began to get restless, now 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 John stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for them to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine; they were used to sharing everything.

John noticed that the lady hadn’t eaten a bite, but was just occasionally taking her turn sipping the drink. Again John offered to buy them something more to eat. This time the little old lady explained that no, they were used to sharing everything together. As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face with a napkin, John could stand it no longer. He finally asked the little old lady, "Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you share everything... what are you waiting for?"

She looked at him sweetly and answered, "The teeth."
