Two English jokes

An old couple went to Burger King, where they wanted to share a hamburger and French fries. An old couple was eating at Burger King Restaurant. They carefully divided the hamburger and French fries into two parts.

A truck driver took advantage of them and offered to buy his wife her own meal. A truck driver sympathized with them and offered to order one for the old lady alone.

"Never mind," said the husband. "We share everything." "It doesn't matter." The old man said, "We share everything."

A few minutes later, the truck driver found that his wife had not eaten a bite. A few minutes later, the truck driver noticed that the old lady didn't stutter.

"I really don't mind buying your wife her own meal," he said to the old man. "I really don't mind inviting your wife to dinner ..."

"She will eat," the husband assured him. "We share everything." "She will eat," the old man assured him. "We will share everything."

The truck driver pleaded with his wife unconvinced, "Why don't you eat?" The driver was dubious and begged the old lady, "Why don't you eat?"

The wife snapped, "because I'm waiting for a tooth change!" " The old lady smacked her lips. "I'm waiting for his false teeth."
