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 could just put my hand in my pocket, and the right amount of money would always be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s brilliant!&#8221; says the bartender, &#8220;Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you&#8217;ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s right! Whether it&#8217;s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,&#8221; says the man.<\/p>\n<p>The bartender asks, &#8220;One other thing, sir, what&#8217;s with the ostrich?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The man replies, &#8220;My second wish was for a chick with long legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him.
