At the Restaraunt

[Just Another Human]

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

as he sits down, 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

$12.40 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.



At the end of the meal the waitress comes with the bill and says, "That

will be $22.62." 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, pauses, and answers, "My second wish was for a tall

chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say." ;-k
