Hi! All,

Pub bet
-------

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".

Cheers,
Paul.
