Ostrich Joke
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," she says and the man
reaches into his
pocket and pulls out the exact amount 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 amount.
For a while this becomes routine until the two enter
again later in
the week.
"The usual?" asks the waitress.
"No, this time it's a treat, so I will have a steak,
baked potato,
and salad," says the man.
" Yep! Same," says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That
will be £32.62." Once again the man pulls the exact
amount 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
money from your
pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was clearing
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 wish for a
couple of million pounds 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 pint 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 replies, "My second wish was
for a tall
bird with a big arse and long legs who agrees with
everything I say."
