A man walked into to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and as he sat down, a small cat jumped up on the stool beside him. The bartender came over and asked for their order. The man says, "I'll have a beer" and turned to the ostrich. "What's yours?" "I'll have a beer too," said the ostrich. The cat said, "I'll have a half beer, but I'm not paying for it." The bartender
nodded, poured the drinks and said, "That will be $6.40 please." The man reached into his pocket, not looking, and plunked down the exact change on
the bar. The next day, the man, ostrich and cat came in again, and, as before, the exchange is repeated: "I'll have a beer." The ostrich said,
"I'll have the same." and the cat said, "I'll have a half glass of beer, but I'm not paying for it." And, once again, the man reached into his pocket and paid with the exact change. This became quite routine, until the trio arrived at the bar unusually late one evening. "The usual?" asked the bartender. "Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have a large scotch instead," said
the man. "Same for me," said the ostrich. "I'll have a small scotch, but I'm not paying for it," said the cat. "That will be $14.20," said the bartender.
As before, the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and placed it on the bar without so much as a glance. The bartender couldn'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?" The customer looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then spoke quietly.
"Well, several years ago I was cleaning the attic and 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 into my pocket, and the right amount of money would always be there." "That's brilliant!" said 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," the man nodded. "Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there." "One other thing sir, if you don't mind me asking, what's the story with the ostrich and the cat?"
The man looked sadly into his drink, and shook his head slowly. "My second wish was for a chick with long legs and a tight pussy."
