A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich
behind him. As he sits down, the bartender
comes over and asks for their order. The man
says, "I'll have a beer." He turns to the
ostrich and asks, "What's yours?" "I'll have
a beer, too," says the ostrich.
The bartender pours the beer and says, "That
will be $3.40 please."
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls
out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come
in again, and the man says, "I'll have a
beer," and the ostrich says, "I'll have the
same." Once again the man reaches into his
pocket and pays with the exact change.
This becomes a routine until, late one
evening, the two enter again.
"The usual?" asks the bartender.
"Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have
a large scotch," says the man.
"Same for me," says the ostrich.
"That will be $7.20," says the bartender.
Once again, the man pulls exact change out of
his pocket and places it on the bar.
The bartender can't hold back his curiosity
any longer. "Excuse me sir. How do you manage
to always come up with the exact change out
of your pocket every time?" the bartender asks.
"Well," says the man. "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 just put my hand in my
pocket, and the right amount of money will always
be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the bartender, "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 bartender asks, "One other thing, sir,
what's with the ostrich?"
The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick
with long legs."
