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, 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. - says the man.
- 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.
