And the Irish Funnies...
The Texan paid a visit to Galway, Ireland. He enters a pub and raises his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He shouts, 'I hear you Irish are a bunch of drinkin' fools. 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 of the Texan's offer.
Paddy Murphy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. Is your bet still good?' asks Paddy.
The Texan answers, 'Yes, 'and he orders the barman to line up 10 pints of Guinness.
Immediately, Paddy downs all 10 pints of beer, drinking them all back to back. The other pub patrons cheer and the Texan sits down in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and asks, 'If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?'
Paddy Murphy replies, 'Oh................... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.'
Father O' Malley answers the phone.
'Hello, is this Father O'Malley?'
'It is'
'It is'
'This is the Irish Revenue Service, income tax department. Can you help us?'
'I can.'
'I can.'
'Do you know a Ted Houlihan?'
'I do'
'I do'
'Is he a member of your congregation?' He is'
'Did he donate €10,000 to the church?'
'He will.'
'He will.'
