Two Wishes
A man walks into a restaurant with an ostrich behind
him, and as he
sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their
order. 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 will be
$6.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and
pulls out 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 comes 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,
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 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 waitress asks, "One other thing, sir, what's with
the ostrich?"
The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick with
long legs."
Happiness is good health and a bad memory. |
