    A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich
    behind him. As he sits, the waitress comes over and asks
    for their orders.

    The man says, "I'll have 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'll be $6.40 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, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and 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 waitress.

    "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato
    and salad," says the man, "Same for me," says the ostrich.

    A short time later the waitress comes with the order and says,
    "That will be $12.62." Once again the man pulls exact change
    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 change out of your pocket every time?"

    "Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the
    attic and I 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 million dollars or something, but you'll 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, "One other thing, sir, what's with the ostrich?"

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