One day, a man walked into a restaurant, trailed by a full-grown ostrich.
As he settled into his seat, the waitress approached and asked for their orders.
The man replied, "I'll have a hamburger, fries, and a Coke."
Turning to the ostrich, he asked, "What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," replied the ostrich.
When the waitress brought the order, she said, "That'll be $6.40."
The man reached into his pocket and, without hesitation, pulled out the exact change.
A Peculiar Routine
This scene repeated day after day. The man and the ostrich would come in, order their meals, and the man would always pay with the exact change from his pocket.
One Friday evening, they came in as usual.
"The usual?" asked the waitress.
"No, it’s Friday night, so I’ll have a steak, baked potato, and a salad," said the man.
"Same for me," echoed the ostrich.
When the waitress returned, she said, "That’ll be $12.62."
Once again, the man produced the exact change from his pocket.
The Waitress Can’t Contain Herself
Unable to hold back her curiosity any longer, the waitress asked, "Sir, how do you always have the exact amount of money in your pocket?"
The man leaned back and explained, "Well, several years ago, I was cleaning out my attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and granted me two wishes."
"For my first wish, I asked that whenever I had to pay for something, I could just reach into my pocket and pull out the exact amount."
"That’s incredible!" the waitress exclaimed. "You’ll never run out of money, no matter what you buy!"
"Exactly," said the man. "Whether it’s a coffee or a Rolls Royce, the exact amount is always there."
The Big Reveal
The waitress then asked, "And your second wish?"
The man sighed, glanced at the ostrich, and said, "I wished for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say."
