Food Joke

Share and share alike Moishe was eating in Solly’s restaurant one day when he saw an elderly couple on another table. They had ordered one plate of salt beef and chips, one drink and one extra glass. As he watched, the old man carefully divided the salt beef into 2 portions, then counted the chips and divided them equally as well. Then he poured half the drink into the extra glass and put it in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat and his wife just sat there watching, her hands folded in her lap. Moishe had to ask them whether they would accept him buying them an extra meal so that they didn’t have to split theirs. The old man said, “Oh, no, that’s very kind. We’ve been married 50 years now, and everything has always been and will always be shared 50/50.” Moishe then asks the old lady why she wasn’t eating. She replied, “it’s his turn with the teeth.
