Weekend Funnies #16

written by Thom - June 25th, 2010 at 8:24 pm


Shakira at YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! hosts a meme called WEEKEND FUNNIES. It is currently being co-hosted by Gattina at WRITERS CRAMPS. From her blog comes the following:

“I love to laugh and I am sure most of you do too. So, I have decided to start a WEEKEND FUNNIES meme.”

To get more instructions for this meme you can CLICK HERE. Thanks Shakira and Gattina for hosting this. Here is my entry for this week. I hope you enjoy!

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 butt and long legs who agrees with everything I say..”

WELL HELLO !!!!!!

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

  1. Damn ostrich……. LOL!

    I’m happy I found the links to the linky here. I did a Funnies post last week but got kinda lost on the linky; didn’t know it’s co-hosted by Gattina now. So thanks, Thom for the links. I’ll get over being disoriented in a jiffy, hopefully.
