Hard Drinkers
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."
