two wishes

> > 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," 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 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?"  The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick
> with a big butt and long legs who agrees with everything I say."
