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 alwaysbe 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 butt and long legs who agrees with
>> everything I say.'
