Posted by: <@...>
the waiter comes over, and asks for their order. The man says, "I'll have a
coke" and turns to the ostrich. What's yours?" "I'll have a coke too" says the
ostrich.
The waiter pours the coke and says "That will be $3.40 please," and the man
reaches into his pocket and pulls out exact change for payment.
The next day, the man, ostrich come again, and the man says "I'll have 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 waiter.
"Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have a large coke" says the man."Same
for me" says the ostrich.
"That will be $7.20" says the waiter.
Once again the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the
bar.
The waiter can't hold back his 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
wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I just put my hand in my
pocket, and the right amount of money will always be there."
That's brilliant!" says the waiter. "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 waiter asks "One other thing, sir, what's with the ostrich.
The man replies "My second wish was for a chick with long legs.
