A man walks into a restaurant with a large ostrich following behind him.
They sit down and the waitress comes across to take their order. The man
says: "A hamburger, fries and a coke." She looks at the ostrich sitting
there and it says: "I'll have the same." They both eat in silence and when
the waitress came across with the bill, which came to $12.40, the man
reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact amount.
The next day the man and the ostrich come again and again the man says,
"A hamburger, fries, and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact money for the bill.
On the third night, the waitress sees them come in and says: "Hi folks,
the usual?" The man replies: "No thanks, being as it's Friday night I'll
have a steak, baked potato and salad." The ostrich says: "I'll have the same."
Afterwards, when the waitress brought the bill for $21.60 over, the man
pulled the exact amount out of his pocket and placed it in her hand.
Being a polite waitress she had never commented on this unusual situation but she felt she had to say something at this. "Excuse me sir," she said. "How do you always manage to have the exact amount 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 always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would wish for a million
pounds 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 pint of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money
is always there," says the man.
The waitress asks, "But, sir, what's with the ostrich?"
The man sighs, pauses, and replies: "My second wish was for a tall chick
with a big ass and long legs who agrees with everything I say."
