After an international convention of brewers, the chief executives from several major companies go out together to a local watering hole. At the bar, the head of Corona says, “Bartender, give me the best beer in the world. I’ll have a Corona!” The Anheuser Busch chief says, “I’m going to have the best beer in the world. Give me a Budweiser!
The fellow from down under, with the same introduction, orders a Foster’s, and the German guy does the same with a Beck’s. Finally, the Guinness brew master pipes up. “I’ll have a Coke, please.”
The assembled are all stunned, and show it. After a moment, the Irishman says to them, “Well, if you chaps aren’t drinking beer, neither will I.”

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.”
