A Texan walks into a pub in
Ireland and
clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, „I hear
you Irish are
a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American
dollars to anybody
in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness
back-to-back.“
The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan’s
offer. One man even
leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who
left shows back up
and taps the Texan on the shoulder. „Is your bet
still good?“, asks
the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and
asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of
Guinness. Immediately the
Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses
drinking them all
back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan
sits in
amazement.
The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, „If ya
don’t mind me
askin‘, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were
gone?“.
The Irishman replies, „Oh…I had to go to the pub
down the street to
see if I could do it first“.
