The Texan...

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 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 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 minute spell earlier?”

The Irishman replies, “Oh…I had to go to the pub down the road to see if I could do it first”

Reminds me of the Texan/Irish joke I heard many decades ago whilst hitch hiking round Galway.

Irish farmer is leaning on a gate, gazing over his land.

Texan stops for a chat and asks - Is this all your land?

Farmer: Oh Aargh, that it is

Texan: I've got a ranch back home in Texas. It takes me all day to drive round it!

Farmer: Yes, I had a car like that once!
