A man walks into a restaurant with a full-
grown ostrich behind him. The waitress
asks them for their orders.
The man says, '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 $9.40 please,'
and the man reaches into his pocket and
pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich
come again and the man says, 'A
hamburger, fries and a coke.'
The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.'
Again the man reaches into his pocket and
pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter
again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a
steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the
man.
'Same,' says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and
says, 'That will be $32.62.'
Once again the man pulls the exact change
out of his pocket and places it on the
table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity
any longer. 'Excuse me, sir. How do you
manage to always come up with the exact
change in your pocket every time?'
'Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I
was cleaning the attic and 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, I
would 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 ask 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, 'What's with the
ostrich?'
The man sighs, pauses and answers, 'My
second wish was for a tall chick with long
legs who agrees with everything I say.'
