An
American walks into a crowded pub in Dublin, Ireland, clears his voice and loudly announces to the crowd of drinkers, "I hear you Irish are hard drinkers. I'll give $500 U.S. greenbacks to anyone in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.
The room is quiet and no one takes up the Yank's offer.
One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gent that left, returns and taps the Yank on the shoulder.
"Is your bet still good?", asks the Irishman.
-
The Yank 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 down one after the other, back-to-back.
The pub patrons cheer as the Yank sits in amazement.
-
The gent 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".
