MY GOODNESS, MY GUINNESS!!!

i just toured the Guinness factory with sylvia. it was great. the pint wasn't "worlds" different than what i'm used to...

A Texan walks into a pub in Dublin and slaps €100 on the counter saying, "this goes to anyone who can drink 10 Guinnesses straight!" There is commotion in the room in general, and one man gets up and leaves.

After about an hour, the man who had left earlier came back to the bar, and asked the Texan if the offer was still on the table, and found out it was. He proceeded to order 10 beers, and one by one drank every one of them!

The baffled Texan merely asked while handing the Irishman his money, "Just one question. Where did you go when I told about the offer?"

"Well, I had to go and see if I could do it first!"


cheers.

Ah, at long last you're enjoying one of my dream vacation spots! Have you run into any distantly-related Shields or Goslins? That joke is great--my dad always talked about "the Irish sense of humor". I hope you also see England and Scotland. The Guinness Storehouse home page looks awesome. I emailed the family so they know ur in Dublin.
