McDonald's love story... <BR>A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonald's <BR>one cold winter evening. <BR><BR><BR>They looked out of place amid the young families <BR>and young couples eating there that night. <BR><BR><BR>Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. <BR>You could tell what the admirers were thinking: <BR><BR><BR>"Look, there is a couple who has been through a <BR>lot together, probably for 60 years or more!"<BR><BR><BR>The little old man walked up to the cash register, <BR>placed his order with no hesitation and then paid <BR>for their meal. <BR><BR><BR>The couple took a table near the back wall and <BR>started taking food off of the tray. <BR><BR><BR>There was one hamburger, one order of french fries <BR>and one drink. <BR><BR><BR>The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger <BR>and carefully cut it in half. <BR><BR><BR>He placed one half in front of his wife. <BR><BR><BR>Then he carefully counted out the french fries, <BR>divided them in two piles and neatly placed one <BR>pile in front of his wife. <BR><BR>He took a sip of the drink, and then his wife took a <BR>sip as the man began to eat his few bites. <BR><BR><BR>Again, you could tell what people around the old <BR>couple were saying. - "They were used to sharing <BR>everything." <BR><BR><BR>Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady still <BR>hadn't eaten a thing.<BR><BR><BR>She just sat there watching her husband eat and <BR>occasionally sipped some of the drink. <BR><BR><BR>A young man came over and begged them to let <BR>him buy them another meal.<BR><BR><BR><BR>The lady explained that no, they were used to <BR>sharing. <BR><BR><BR><BR>As the little old man finished eating and was <BR>wiping his face neatly with a napkin, the young <BR>man could stand it no longer and asked again. <BR><BR><BR>After being politely refused again, he finally asked <BR>the little old lady, "Ma'am, why aren't you eating. <BR>You said that you share everything. <BR><BR><BR>What is it that you are waiting for?"<BR><BR><BR><BR>She answered,<BR><BR><BR>"THE TEETH" <BR><BR> |
