Ten Pints

A Texan walks into a pub in Sydney (Australia) and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, "I hear you Aussies 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 Aussie.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness.

Immediately the Aussie 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 Australian the $500 and says, "If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"

The Aussie replies, "Oh ... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."
