"Ostrich"

A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him. As
he sits, the bartender comes over 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."
