The Ostrich
A man walks into a bar with an ostrich behind him.
The bartender asks for his order, and the man says, "I'll have
a beer," and turns to the ostrich saying, "What's yours?"
"I'll have a beer, too," says the ostrich.
The bartender pours the beers and says, "That's $2.80 please."
The guy reaches into his pocket, pulls out exact change and pays.
Next day, man and ostrich arrive, order beers and the man again
pulls exact change and pays. This becomes a routine until one
night they enter again and the bartender asks, "The usual?"
"This time, make it a large Scotch..." says the man.
"Same for me," says the ostrich.
"That's $5.20," says the bartender.
Once again, the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places
it on the bar. The bartender is very curious: "Sir, how do you
manage to always have the exact change?"
"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."
"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, "Another thing: what's with the ostrich?"
The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick with long legs."
