A man walks up to the bar
with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits the bartender comes, 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.�
