A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland, clears his voice, and says to the crowd of drinkers "I hear you Irish think are a bunch of hard drinkers. I'll bet $500 American dollars that no-one here can drink 10 pints of Guinness in 5 minutes." The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan's offer.
One man even leaves. Ten 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 one after the other.
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 10 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".
