A man walks up to the bar with an ostrich behind him, and as he sits, 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 $3.40 please",
and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out exact change for payment.

The bartender can't hold back his curiosity any longer.
