The Texan paid a visit to Galway, Ireland. He enters a pub and raises his voice to the
crowd of drinkers. He shouts, 'I hear you Irish are a bunch of drinkin' fools. 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 on the Texan's
offer. Paddy Murphy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he comes
back and taps the Texan on the shoulder. Is your bet still good?' asks
Paddy. The Texan answers, 'Yes,' and he orders the barman to line up 10 pints
of Guinness. Immediately, Paddy downs all 10 pints of beer, drinking them all
back to back. The other pub patrons cheer and the Texan sits down in
amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and asks, 'If ya don't mind
me asking, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?'
Paddy Murphy replies, 'Oh, I had to go to the pub down the street to see
if I could do it first.'
