> A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and 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."
