A Man and an Ostrich
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The
waitress asks 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," she says 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 later in the week.
"The usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will
have a steak, baked potato, and salad," says the man.
"Same," says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be
$32.62."
Once again the ma n pulls the 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 up with the exact
change out of 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 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, "But what's with the ostrich?"
The man sighs and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with
a big ass and long legs who agrees with everything I say."
