According to Reddit user [Sonowthatimhere](https://www.reddit.com/user/sonowthatimhere "undefined"), Murray shared some fries with his friend at the Martha’s Vineyard Airport on Saturday and he was able to snap [a photo](https://twitter.com/YL%5FNinja/status/767315831504171008?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") of it. According to the Redditor, “Seemed like \[Murray\] was just getting his friends to the airport; flight was delayed so they went for a bite.” He added that Murray sharing in the fries “gave everyone in the restaurant a good laugh,” which is all anyone really wants when their flight is delayed.
