Joke - The Ostrich...

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.

The waitress asks the man and the bird 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," answers the ostrich.

"That will be $9.40 please," the waitress says as she returns with

their order.

The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for

payment.

The next day the man and the ostrich return, and the man says,

"A hamburger, fries, and a coke, please."

The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."

Again, the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

This becomes a daily routine until one special night when they enter

the restaurant.

"The usual?" asks the waitress.

"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, a 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," explains the man, "several years ago I was cleaning my 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 correct

amount of money would always be there."

"That's brilliant!" exclaims 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 long legs who agrees with everything I say."
