Sam Salvi walked into a Dennys Restaurant ,followed by a full grown ostrich. He sat down at the bar, and the bird stood next to him. The waitress came over and asked, Whatll you have? Sam said he wanted the Dennys big breakfast with two glasses of OJ and a large slice of apple pie. She turned to the ostrich and asked, And whatll you have?. The bird replied, Ill have what hes having. After the meal was done, the waitress brought the check, but before she could hand it to Sam, he reached into his tobacco pouch and pulled out the exact amount on the tab. The waitress was impressed.
Next day Sam was back with the same order, and the ostrich wanted the same thing. The bill came and once again Sam had the exact change out before she gave him the bill. This went on for several days.
On Saturday, Sam and his bird came in and the waitress said, The usual, folks? Sam said, Heck no, this is Saturday, so Ill have the steak breakfast, pancakes, sausage, hash browns, a chocolate milk shake, and two slices of peach pie. The ostrich piped in quickly, Sounds good, Ill have the same. When the waitress came with the bill Sam pulled out his tobacco pouch and took out the exact change.
The waitress looked puzzled and asked ,What gives with the exact change stuff? Sam told her that he was rummaging through an old barn once, and found an old scotch bottle. He pulled the cork to see if there was anything left and a Scottish genie popped out. He was offered two wishes ( Scottish genies are tight with their wishes). His first wish was that whenever he bought something, he would have the exact amount needed in his tobacco pouch. Thats genius, said the waitress. Instead of asking for a million dollars, you will always be rich this way. Sam agreed that whether it was a block of wood or a power hammer, the exact amount was always there. So, what is with the ostrich?", asked the waitress. Sam shrugged and said, My second wish was for a tall, long legged chick with a big butt, who agrees with everything I say.
