A man walks into a restaurant
with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits down, 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,"
she says, 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 $32.62."
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 up with 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, I could 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 amount is always
there," says the man.
The waitress asks, "One other
thing, sir. What's with the ostrich?" < BR The man replies, "My
second wish was for a chick with long legs."
