Texan in Ireland A wealthy Texan is in a pub in Dublin and notices all the locals downing pint after pint of Guinness. He makes an announcement."I'll gladly give $500 to any man who can drink 10 pints of that beer without stopping" Everyone backs away from the bar and one man leaves the pub, altogether. About 15 minutes later, the man who left the pub returns and says "I'll take you up on that challenge" The bar keep lines up 10 pints of Guinness and everyone watches as the Irishman downs each one, hardly stopping to take a breath. "Wow that was amazing!" exclaims the Texan "here's your money... but tell me one thing...why did you leave when I first made the offer?" The Irishman wiped off his chin and said "I went to another pub to make sure I could do it."
