The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries
and a drink. He unwrapped the plain hamburger and
carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his
wife. He then carefully counted out the French
fries, dividing them into 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 he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were
looking over and whispering.
Obviously 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 fries a young man came to the
table and politely offered to buy another meal for the
old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they
were used to sharing everything People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She 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 another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything..'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly
with the napkin, the young man again came over to the
little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food
and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'
She answered
'THE
TEETH.'

At last - a story with bite.
Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.
