A TEXAN IN AN IRISH PUB.

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 it is 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".
