And lays ten €100 notes on the bar.
"I hear you Micks think you're pretty good drinkers. I'll wager €1000 that none of you can drink 10 pints of Guinness in 1 hour. Any takers?" said the Texan.
The bar goes silent. The men turn away from the Texan and hide their faces. One man even leaves in disgust.
"Hmph, figures!" said the Texan. He orders a beer and drinks at the bar.
Ten minutes later, the man who left the pub in disgust comes back into the pub and approaches the Texan.
"Excuse me, sir," said the Irishmen, "Is your wager still on the table?"
"Sure is. Line 'em up barkeep!" said the Texan.
The bartender pulls ten pints and lays them in a row. The Texan starts a stopwatch and the Irishman starts drinking. One after the other, the pints disappear until ten empty glasses line the bar with 25 minutes to spare.
The pub erupts in celebration and the Texan begrudgingly hands the Irishmen the money.
"One question," said the Texan. "Where did you go for ten minutes 'fore you come back?"
"Well, I didn't have €1000 if I lost," said the Irishmen, "so I went to the pub down the street to make sure I could do it first."
