A guy pulls up to a restaurant in a sports car with an ostrich in the passenger seat (long).

A guy pulls up to a restaurant in a sports car with an ostrich in the passenger seat. He heads inside and sits down at a table with the ostrich. He finishes his meal and it’s time for the check of $31.43.

When the server walks over the guest hands him exactly $31.43 from his pocket. β€œOops, I forgot the tip” he says, and hands the server $6.29 (20%) straight from his pocket without looking.

Server: Uhh thanks for the tip, but how did you… never mind. I gotta ask, what’s the deal with the bird?

Guest: Well, about a year ago I found this magic lamp, and a genie popped out and granted me 3 wishes. So of course my first wish was a sports car…

Server: that’s foolish, you could have wished for anything.

Guest: true, that’s why my second wish was a bit more practical. I wished to always have the exact amount of money I need in my pocket.

Server: smart, but again… what’s with the bird?

Guest: (looks over at ostrich) oh her? My 3rd wish was for a chick with long legs.
