    THE OSTRICH

    A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.

    The waitress asks them 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." 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. "The usual?"

    asks the waitress.

    "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and

    a 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 cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me,

    sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change

    in 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 ask 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, "What's with the ostrich?"

    The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick

    with a big !!! and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

    Evening Gang, :wave:

    Hope everyone is well?

    Well we all had a fabulous weekend at Kits & especialy to Meet Erika & Aesop & her son.

    Was also good to meet up with Susan & Alan. It was so nice of Kit to put us all up in her B&B & the food she gave us all was wonderful. Must say Kit did look after everyone & made everyone feel welcome into her home. We all enjoyed London & to Even go into Harrods Looking at the food hall then to visit other departments. then the walk through Kensington Gardens & the nice meal we all had at bayswater.
