A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and as he
sits, the bartender comes over, and asks for his order. The man
says, "I'll have a beer," and turns to the ostrich. "What about
you?"
"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 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 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."
