Pub Joke

A Texan walks into 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 to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back to back!” 

The room is quiet and no one takes of the Texan's offer. Paddy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he shows back up 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 askin', where did you go for those 30 minutes you were gone?”

Paddy replies: “Oh,well.........I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”
