Old Rick and his wife Ruby walked slowly into McDonald's on a cold winter's 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's a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!"

Rick walked right up to the counter, 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. Rick unwrapped the plain cheeseburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the chips, 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 Rick began to eat his few bites of cheeseburger 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 Rick began to eat his chips a young man named Bill came over to the old couples table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. Rick replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.

Then the crowd noticed that Ruby hadn't eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again, Bill came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat - maybe a McBreast? This time Ruby explained that no, they were used to sharing everything together.

As Rick finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin young Bill could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy them some food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of the little old lady.

"Ma'am, why arnt you eeting? You said that y'all share evrything. What is it that you are waiting for?"

She answered, "The teeth."

Oh, Lachlan,

GOOD ONE MATE !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was laughing so loud that Barb had to come in to help me up off the floor.

I wouldn't mind betting that you've been saving that one up as your counter attack should I send one your way. That being the case, you have earned a :devious: for it.

Rick.

I'll have to ensure that you never meet my wife Barb, in case you let slip about Ruby.
