Careful what you wish for....
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich
behind him. As he sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their
orders. 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 the 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 $28.62.” 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 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 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, pauses, and answers, “My second
wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything
I say.”
