A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown
ostrich behind him. As he sits, the waitress comes
over and asks for their order. The man says, "I'll
have a hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to
the ostrich. "What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," says the
ostrich. A
short time later the waitress returns with the order.
"That will be $6.40 please," and the
man reaches
into his pocket and pulls out exact change for
payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich
come
again and the man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries
and a coke," and the ostrich says, "I'll have the same.
"Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays
with exact change.
This becomes a routine until late one
evening,
the two enter again.. "The usual?" asks the waitress.
"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked
potato and salad," says the man. "Same for me,"
says
the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress comes
with the
order and says, "That Will be $62.62." Once again the
man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it
on the table. The waitress can't hold back her curiosity
any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to
always come upwith the exact change out of your
pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man,
"several years ago I was
cleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When I
rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything,
just put my hand in my pocket, and the right amount of
money would always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the
waitress. "Most people
would wish for a million dollars or something, but you'll
always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"
"That's right! Whether it's a
gallon of milk or a
Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the
man.
The waitress asks, "One other
thing, sir, what's
with the ostrich?"
The man sighs and answers, "My second wish
was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with
everything I say!"
