< 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. "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 both order a beer. < 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 and the bartender asks, "The usual?" < < "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 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."
