MNice Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grownostrich behind him. As he sits, the waitress comesover and asks for their orders.The man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and acoke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?""I'll have the same," says the ostrich.A short time later the waitress returns with theorder. "That will be $6.40 please," the man reachesinto his pocket and pulls out the exact change forpayment.The next day, the man and the ostrich come again andthe man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and acoke," and the ostrich says, "I'll have thesame."Once again the man reaches into his pocket andpays with exact change.This becomes a routine until late one evening, thetwo 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 forme," says the ostrich.A short time later the waitress comes with the orderand says, "That will be $12.62." Once again the manpulls exact change out of his pocket and places iton the table. The waitress can't hold back hercuriosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do youmanage to always come up with the exact change outof your pocket every time?""Well," says the man, "several years ago I wascleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When Irubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me twowishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to payfor anything, I would just put my hand in my pocketand the right amount of money would always bethere.""That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most peoplewould wish for a million dollars or something, butyou'll always be as rich as you want for as long asyou live!""That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or aRolls Royce, the exact money is always there," saysthe man.The waitress asks, "One other thing, sir, what'swith the ostrich?"The man sighs, pauses, and answers, My second wishwas for a "tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say....."
