A man walks into a restaurant with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits, 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 $6.40
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. A short time later the waitress comes with the
order and says, "That will be $12.62." 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 replies, "My second wish was for a chick with long legs.

Do you think it is proper to use the Internet to promote such an
unhealthy diet?

I've been thinking. Love him or loathe him I have to admit to a sneaky
admiration for our George. It must have taken years of practice to be so
consistently negative about absolutely everything. Go on, fess up .. this
guy's a genius.
There again maybe he was just born a natural comedian. I wonder if he's the
inspiration for that Victor Meldrew bloke. ;-)

I've said previously that I find a number of his posts quite amusing.

Nah, if anyone asked me to name a "straight man" I wouldn't pick him.
