What you wished

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 change 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 change.

This becomes routine until the two enter again later in the week. "The
usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a
steak, baked potato, and salad," says the man. "Same," says the
ostrich. Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be
$32.62."

Once again the man pulls the 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 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 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, "But what's with the ostrich?" The man sighs and
answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick (.....I meant Wife) with
long legs who agrees with everything I say and God gave me this
ostrich.

Moral of the story: - Be specific...... with what you ask..
