, and as he sits down a small cat jumps up on the stool beside him. 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 cat says, "I'll have a half beer, but I'm not paying for it". The bartender pours the beer and says "That will be £6.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket, and pulls out exact change for payment.
This happens the next evening also. The following evening the trio enters 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 will be £12.35", 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" asks the bartender.
"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 3 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 would 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 its a pint 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 and the cat?"
The man replies, "My other two wishes were for a bird with long legs, and a tight puss'y.
