A man walks up to the bar
with an ostrich behind him,
and as he sits,
the bartender asks for their order.
The man says,
"I'll have a beer"
and turns to the ostrich.
"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,"
and the man reaches into his pocket
and pays with the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man
and the ostrich come 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 exact change.
This became 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?"
"Well," says the man,
"several years ago I was cleaning the attic
and I found this old lamp.
When I rubbed it a Genie appeared
and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that
if I ever needed to pay for anything,
I just put my hand in my pocket
and the right amount of money will 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.
"That's fantastic!"
says the bartender.
"You are a genius! .
Oh, one other thing sir,
what's with the ostrich?"
The man replies,
"Oh, my second wish
was for a chick with long legs."
