Great joke, Al. Here's one to share:

----------------------------------------------------------

A big, brash Texan walks into a pub in Dublin and sits at the bar. "Bartender," he drawls, "Ah heard tell that you Irish are big drinkers. I'll give $500 to any man who can drink 20 Guinnesses in a row, no stopping."

The rest of the bar hears this, of course, and a few of them mumble to each other but no one takes the Texan up on his offer. One man even takes a look at the Texan and walks out of the pub.

The Texan says "hell, I thought so. The only real men are from Texas." He turns around to have a drink.

About 20 minutes later, the man who left the pub comes back in. "I'll take you up on that offer, friend," he says. The Texan stands up and orders up 20 pints of Guinness, which the bartender sets up across the bar.

The man takes a deep breath, shakes his head a bit, and starts. 5 minutes later, all 20 pints are empty, and the man is licking his lips. The Texan is stunned, but hands over the $500 to the Irishman.

"Hell, boy, that was some fine drinkin'. Guess it's true what I heard," the Texan admits. "But... where'd you run off to before?"

"Ah," said the Irishman, "I went to the pub down the street to see if I could do it, first."
