    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 bottom and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

    nice punch line.
    You win some, you lose some.

    The request for a tall chick, with an ample bottom and long legs reminded me of an old movie "Bedazzled" starring Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. The plot has a fast order cook (making burgers) hankering after a long-legged waitress in the establishment. She wouldn't; so Dudley gets the devil save him from a suicide, and give him a few wishes to claim. The movie is about how Dudley botches his wishes ...

    I believe this ran in the Blue Diamond Theatre in Madras.
    Perhaps this link might get you there:
    Watch Bedazzled (1967) on Streamm4u.com

    He was doing great until he asked, "Agrees with everything I say".

    @kkrish
    Thanks for kicking off the discussion. Not that there is much to discuss in a situation like this. The man's plight causes a lump in my throat!

    @Amulet

    Looks like I missed seeing this movie. Blue Diamond had continuous screening of a movie. You could get in any time and get out when you felt like it. I have seen men sitting there whole day with their girl friends! I normally avoided going there because I have this tendency of falling asleep in a theatre. And Blue Diamond was built for sleepers like me!

    @Adharv
    I am happy that you enjoyed this but your disarming innocence in the question
    has unnerved me. I am now scratching my head wondering how to answer this question!
