The waitress asks them for their orders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The man says, &amp;#39;A hamburger, fries and a coke,&amp;#39; and turns to the ostrich, &amp;#39;What&amp;#39;s yours?&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;I&amp;#39;ll have the same,&amp;#39; says the ostrich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;A short time later the waitress returns with the order &amp;#39;That will be $9.40 please,&amp;#39; and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, &amp;#39;A hamburger, fries and a coke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The ostrich says, &amp;#39;I&amp;#39;ll have the same.&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;This becomes routine until the two enter again. &amp;#39;The usual?&amp;#39; asks the waitress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad,&amp;#39; says the man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;Same,&amp;#39; says the ostrich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, &amp;#39;That will be $32.62.&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. &amp;#39;Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;Well,&amp;#39; says the man, &amp;#39;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.&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;That&amp;#39;s brilliant!&amp;#39; says the waitress. &amp;#39;Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you&amp;#39;ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;#39;That&amp;#39;s right. Whether it&amp;#39;s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,&amp;#39; says the man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The waitress asks, &amp;#39;What&amp;#39;s with the ostrich?&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The man sighs, pauses and answers, &amp;#39;My second wish was for a tall chick with a big butt and long legs who agrees with everything I say.&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Words are so important. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;*****************************************************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
