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.

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.
