The Ostrich Story


 A man walks into a restaurant with an full-grown
ostrich behind him, and as he sits, 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," 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 $12.62." 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, 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, "One other thing, sir,
what's with the ostrich?"


  The man sighs and answers, "My second wish was for a
tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I
say!"
