"I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers," he says. "I'll give $500 American dollars to anyone here who can drink 10 pints of beer back-to-back."
The room goes silent. No one accepts the offer. One man even gets up and leaves the pub.
Thirty minutes later, the same man returns and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?" he asks.
The Texan says, "Sure is!" and tells the bartender to line up 10 pints of beer.
Without hesitation, the Irishman tears into them and downs all 10, one after the other. The pub erupts in cheers as the Texan stares in disbelief.
Handing over the $500, the Texan asks, "If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for those 30 minutes?"
The Irishman grins and replies, "Oh… I had to nip down to the pub around the corner to see if I could do it first!"
