The texan, the irishman and the beers

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 minutes you were gone?”.
The Irishman replies, “Oh…I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first”.

good joke though, speaks alot of truths

Hmm, I don’t know why the Irishman would have to check if he was able to perform the task in another bar first. If it were a two-way wager, where a failure would force him to pay the Texan if he failed, then I could understand having to test it out. In this scenario, he actually lowered his chances for success, in a situation where it wasn’t necessary. I suppose the fix for that is to just make the Texan say that he’ll bet anyone $500 bucks for the same task. I like it though, shows off the well known Irish tolerance.
Toyer: ….it’s a joke. Overanalyze much?
Toyer: You are strangely literal. I like it.
