A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown 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 the exact change.

This becomes 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 sighs and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say...

Greetings, Canteen FReepers!

Sarge is back on watch today, after three dee-lightful days off!

Day One was spent playing swordfight with a local re-enactment group, and having supper with Mussis and The Boy in our new house.

Day Two was our Guard unit's annual family picnic. The Boy behaved himself grandly, the food and the fun was tasty and low-key, and the weather held out cool and breezy.

Day Three, well, I spent the ENTIRE day at the new place, getting the plumbing fixed, slapping polyurethane on the hardwood floors, working on the appliances, and when I get home, help Missus with the yard sale stuff.

All in all, I get more rest on duty!

I'll be checking in until midnight tonight. Hoping anyone down Texas way is okay with the storm...

SARGE

[SouthernHawk]

Those Genies can be such kidders!

[SouthernHawk]

Sounds like you had to go back to work to get rested up!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh boy, a sailing ship! Thanks, aomagrat, for today's history of the USS Newport. She does look funny with a smokestack rising amidships.
