Bob and His Emu


Bob walks into a bar with an emu behind him. The bartender asks for his order, and Bob says, “I’ll have a beer,” and turns to the emu saying “What’s yours?” “I’ll have a beer, too” says the emu. The bartender pours the beers and says, “That’s $8.40 please.” Bob reaches into his pocket, pulls out exact change and pays. Next day, Bob and emu arrive, order beers and Bob again pulls exact change and pays.
This becomes a routine until one night they enter again and the bartender asks, “The usual?” “No, make it a large Scotch this time thanks” says Bob. “Same for me,” says the emu. “That’s $14.20″ says the bartender. Once again, Bob pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the bar.
The bartender is very curious by now and says “Sir, how do you manage to always have the exact change?” “Well,” says Bob “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 would always be there.”
“Brilliant!” says the bartender. “Most people would wish for a million dollars, but you’ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live! ” “That’s right! Whether it’s a litre of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there” says Bob.
The bartender then asks “Ok so what’s with the emu then?” Bob replies, “My second wish was for a chick with long legs.”
