"A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The
waitress asks 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," and 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 the exact change. =20

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 salad,"
says the man. "Same," says the ostrich. =20

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 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 found an
old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first
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 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, "But 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."
