A Man & His
Ostrich
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 always be 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 ass and long legs who agrees
with everything I say.'
