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 havethe 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." And once again, the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket,
placing 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 out the attic and found this really old brass 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 a big ass and long
legs who agrees with everything I say.
