As he sat down, the waitress came over and asked for their orders.
The man said, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke.”
Then he turned to the ostrich and asked, “What’s yours?”
“I’ll have the same,” said the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returned with the order saying, “That will be $6.40 please.”
So the man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich came again and the man said, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke.”
Then the ostrich said, “I’ll have the same.”
Once again the man reached into his pocket and paid with exact change.
This became a routine until late one evening, the two entered again.
“The usual?” asked the waitress.
“No, it is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and salad,” said the man.
“Same for me,” said the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress came with the order and said, “That will be $12.62.”
Once again the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
The waitress couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer.
