Subject: You Get What you Ask for!


A man walks into a restaurant with an ostrich
behind him, and as he sits,
the waitress comes over and asks for their order.
The man says,"I'll have a
hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the
ostrich. "What's yours?"

"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.

A short time later the waitress returns with the
order. "That will be $6.40
please," and the man reaches into his pocket and
pulls out exact change for
payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again
and the man says, "I'll
have a hamburger, fries and a coke," and the
ostrich says, "I'll have the
same."
Once again the man reaches into his pocket and
pays with exact change.

This becomes a routine until late one evening,
the two enter again.
"The usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is
Friday night, so I will have a
steak, baked potato and salad," says the man.

"Same for me," says the ostrich. A short time
later the waitress comes with
the order and says, "That will be $12.62." Once
again the man pulls exact
change out of his pocket and places it on the
table.

The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any
longer.
"Excuse me, sir.
How do you manage to always come up with the
exact change out of your pocket
every time?"

"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was
cleaning the attic and I
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, 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 wish 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, "One other thing, sir, what's
with the ostrich?"

The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick
with long legs.


REMEMBER TO BE SPECEFIC WHEN YOU ASK FOR
THINGS.....

Thanks, Mango... it's nice to have a laugh once in awhile that isn't fencing related! ("This one time, I was fencing this girl and..." is only funny so many times) <img src="graemlins/dunce.gif" border="0" alt="[Dunce]" />

That was a good one, Mango!

not at all, now for the lame problem, i dont' think it should matter as long as it isnt' distracting, but then you get into the issue of distracting to whom, or who, and then you get into the politcal thing of will the director think i'm pro-white, pro-interracial, pro-fession, novice, beginner, expert, or whatever, in that case...we shouldn't fence at all if we have to second guess everyone and everything, the thought process will just paralyze us, but in my minds eye i can concieve of black and green diagonailly stripped lame, over a black unitard, speaking of which, i think i will switch to a unitard shortly, i don't think i can stand the jacket pants thing, in trying to stay mobile, light etc, we have: an underarm protector, a chest plate, a tee shirt, a jacket and a lame. I think this is excessive, i want to go for a THIN chest plate over an electrified nylon unitard, a glove and a mask that's it.

Hehe, mango, did you mean to put that last post on the "multicolored... yuck!!!" thread or something? 'cause in here that just didn't make sense. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

don't worry "shy", the water cooler is open to all types of discussions, even off the topic topics, even in the same folder. <img src="graemlins/jawa.gif" border="0" alt="[Jawa]" />

Ever bounce a topic off the wall so hard it came back and hit you in the head?

Mango,
If you're looking for hostile people you might want to check the mirror first. Take a chill pill, dear.

[shyHeidi]

Mango is just...well...Mango, is all.

[shyHeidi]

nooooooooo <img src="graemlins/crap.gif" border="0" alt="[Crap]" /> but then who is going to make me laugh out loud when I'm sitting by myself at the computer lab, causing the people around me to give me weird looks and scoot their chairs a little farther away?
...Okay, so I suppose "On the other hand, you have different fingers" and such shouldn't make me laugh so much , but ah well, that's the way it goes. Hrm. Well that's too bad, anyway, I found your posts quite entertaining. <img src="graemlins/freak2.gif" border="0" alt="[Freak]" />
