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

This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'

So very funny!
My grandparents used to do quite a lot of sharing, too... for instance, they would always split a bottle of beer at suppertime.
After Grandpa died, Grandma was so sad that now she had to drink the whole bottle all by herself.
