A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits the bartender comes over, and 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 pulls
out 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 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?"
"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, 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."
