THE
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." 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?"
