A guy and an ostrich walk into a cafe and sit down together at a table. The waitress thinks, "This is going to be interesting" and takes over 2 menus. The Ostrich ignores his but the guy looks over the menu and then says, "I'll have a cheeseburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "Same for me."
The waitress thinks, "A talking ostrich, this is going to be better than I thought".
She brings their food and goes back to her station to discretely watch. They both consume their food in silence. No talking.
She now brings the ticket and asks if there will be anything else. "Nothing for me", says the fellow. "Me neither", says the ostrich.
The waitress hands the man the bill and says it comes to $13.41. The man reaches in his pocket and removes the exact change to the penny. This is too much. The waitress says, "How did you know the correct amount in advance, or was that just a lucky guess?".
"Well", the guy says, "I found an old brass lamp on the beach and a genie came out and promised me two wishes. I asked for the ability to always have the amount of money in my pocket that I needed to buy anything I wanted or needed. Doesn't matter if it is a candy bar or a custom made tricked out Corvette, I just reach in my pocket and the money is there."
"That's brilliant", says the waitress. "If you had asked for a fixed amount, you could have lost it all with bad investments, gambling or theft. You're a genius. I just have to know, though, what's the deal with the ostrich?"
With a deep sigh the man says, "My second wish was for a chick with long legs who would always agree with me!".
O. D. :cool:
(Moral: Never ask a genie for anything without giving, exact, detailed, non-ambiguous instructions!)
