Saturday’s smiles

An Aussie truckie walks into  an outback cafe with a full-grown emu behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders.

The truckie says, ‘A hamburger, chips and  a coke,’ 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.’ He reaches into  his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the emu come again and he says, ‘A  hamburger,  chips and a coke.’ The emu says, ‘I’ll have the same.’

Again the truckie reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

This becomes routine until the two enter again. ‘The usual?’ asks the  waitress.

‘No, it’s Friday night, so I’ll have a steak, baked  potato and a salad,’ says the man. ‘Same,’ says the emu.  

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, ‘That will be  $32.62.’

Once again the man pulls the exact change out  of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress can’thold back her curiosity any longer. ‘Excuse me, mate, how do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?’  

‘Well, love’ says  the  truckie, ‘A few years ago, I was cleaning out the back shed, 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.’

‘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 man.

The waitress asks, ‘What’s with the bloody emu?’  

The truckie sighs, pauses, and answers, ‘My second wish was for a tall chick with a big arse and  long legs, who agrees with everything I say.’
