Ostrich
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2004 12:57 amTHE OSTRICH
A man walks into a restaurant with a fully grown ostrich behind him. As they sit
down, a waitress walks over and asks for their orders.
The man says "I'll have a burger, fries and a coke." He turns to the ostrich and
says "What about you?" "I'll have the same." says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order, saying "That will be
$4.60 please."
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day they are back again and both order the same meal. Again the man
pulls out the exact change.
This happens for a few more nights, then one night as they came in the waitress
says "The usual?" and the reply comes back "No thanks, this is Friday night so
I'll have a steak, baked potato and salad." "Same for me." says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress comes back with the meal and says "That will be
$12.62." Once again the man pulls out the exact change and places it on the
table.
The waitress cannot contain her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me sir, but how do
you manage to always come up with the correct change?"
"Well," said the man "Several years ago, I was cleaning the attic out and I
found an old lamp. I rubbed it and found there was a genie inside. He gave me
two wishes. My first wish was that whenever I had to pay for anything that if I
put my hand in my pocket, the exact change would be in there."
"Brilliant thinking." says the waitress "Most people would ask for a limited
amount of wealth, but that way you will always have money when you need it."
"That's right, from a pint of milk to a rolls royce, I will be able to cover the
cost from my pocket." said the man.
The waitress then asks "And the ostrich?"
The man sighs, pauses then answers "Well, for my second wish, I asked for a tall
chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say!"
