H/T to wild river!
A pub in Cork
I found myself in a pub in Cork.
A group of American tourists came in. One of the Americans said,
in a loud voice, "I hear you Irish think your great drinkers. I
bet 5,000 euros that no-one here can drink 30 pints of Guinness
in 30 minutes."
The bar was silent, the American noticed one Irishman leaving,
no-one took up the bet.
40 minutes later the Irishman who left returned and said "Hey
Yank, is your wee bet still on?"
"Sure" said the American, "30 pints in 30 minutes for a bet of
5,000 euros."
"Grand, " replied the Irishman, "so pour the pints and start the
clock."
It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds
to spare.
"OK Yank, pay up." said the Irishman..
"I'm happy to pay, here's your money" said the American.
"But tell me, when I first offered the wager I saw you leave.
Where did you go?'
The Irishman replied, "Well sir, 5,000 euros is a lot of money
to a man like me, so I went to the pub across the road to see if
I could do it."
Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....
Chickenmom wins the internets!
