Fifty-Fifty

"A Rambling Rose By Any Other Name"

A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time.
Later they go on to a show.

The evening is a huge success and as he drops
her at her door he says, "I have had a lovely time.
You looked so beautiful, you remind me of a
beautiful rambling rose. May I call on you tomorrow?"

She agrees and a date is made.

The next night he knocks on her door and when
she opens it she slaps him hard across the face.

He is stunned. "What was that for?" he asked.

She said, "I looked up rambling rose in the
encyclopaedia last night and it said 'Not well
suited to bedding but is excellent for rooting up
against a garden wall.'"

"Fifty-Fifty"

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down
to lunch at McDonald's. He noticed that they had
ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. As he
watched, the gentleman carefully divided the
hamburger in half, then counted out the fries,
one for him, one for her, until each had half of
them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into
the extra cup and set that in front of his wife.

The old man then began to eat, and his wife sat
watching, with her hands folded in her lap.

The young man decided to ask if they would allow
him to purchase another meal for them so that
they didn't have to split theirs.

The old gentleman said, "Oh no. We've been
married 50 years, and everything has always been
and will always be shared, 50/50."

The young man then asked the wife if she was
going to eat. She replied, "When he's done
with my teeth!"
