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.”
