Two Wishes
A trucker walks into a diner with a full-grown emu behind him, and they sit in a booth. A waitress comes over and asks them for their orders.
The trucker says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke, please,' and turns to the emu, 'What's yours?'
‘I'll have the same,' says the emu.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. 'That will be $9.40 please,' and the trucker reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change and pays her.
The next day, the trucker and the emu come in again, and he says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke.' The emu says, 'I'll have the same.'
Again the trucker reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again on Friday evening.
'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, it's Friday night, so I'll have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the trucker. 'I’ll have the same,' says the emu.
After they’ve eaten, the waitress brings the check and says, 'That will be $32.65.'
Once again the trucker pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. ‘Excuse me,’ she says, ‘Do you mind telling me how you manage to come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?'
'Well, love' says the trucker, 'A few years ago, I was walking in the woods and found an old goblin with his foot caught in a bear trap. I set him free and he 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.'
'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask 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 trucker.
The waitress asks, 'So what's with the bloody emu?'
The trucker sighs, pauses, and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall chick with a big ass and long legs, who would always agree with everything I say.'
