A man, an ostrich and a cat are sitting in a bar. 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 cat says "I'll have half a beer, but I'm not paying
for it."
The bartender pours the beers and says "That'll be $3.40 please." and the
man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
he next day the man, ostrich and cat come again, and the man says "I'll
have a beer" and the ostrich says "I'll have the same" and the cat says
"I'll have half a glass of beer but I'm not paying for it."
Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with the exact change.
This becomes routine until late one evening the trio enter again. "The
usual?" asks the bartender. "Well its close to last orders, so I'll have a
large scotch" says the man. "Same for me" says the ostrich. "I'll have
a small scotch but I'm not paying for it" says the cat.
"That'll be $7.20," says the bartender.
Once again the man pulls the 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
from your pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man, "Several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found
an old lamp. When I rubbed it a genie appeared and offered me 2 wishes. My
first was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I just put my hand in my
pocket and the right 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 then asks one other thing, "Sir, what's with the ostrich and
the cat?"
The man replies "My second wish was for a bird with long legs and a tight
pussy".
