A man enters a bar with an ostrich behind him. As he sits down, the boss arrives and takes control of him. The man says:
- I'll have a beer.
He then turns to the ostrich and asks him:
"I'll have a beer too," replies the ostrich.
The boss brings both beers and says:
- It will be 5 euros, please.
The guy plunges his hand into his pocket and takes out the exact sum. The next day, the man and the ostrich come back and the man asks for a beer and the ostrich asks for the same thing. Once again, the man puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out the exact sum requested. It becomes a routine, every night both come back to the bar.
"As usual?" Asks the boss.
- To change, I'll take a double scotch, said the man.
"For me too," said the ostrich.
- It will be 10 euros, says the boss.
Once again, the man plunges his hand into his pocket and pulls out the exact sum he places on the counter. The boss can no longer hold his curiosity.
- Excuse me sir. How do you get out of your pocket the exact sum every time?
- Well, years ago, I was cleaning my attic when I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was to always be able to pay for what I was asked just by putting my hand in my pocket and taking out the exact sum.
- Well done, says the boss. Most people would have asked for a million euros or something but you will be as rich as you want as long as you live.
- Exact ! Whether for a liter of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact sum is there
- The boss then asks:
"One more thing, sir, and the ostrich?
The man answers:
- My second wish was ......... a hen with long legs.
