sign above the bar. "O'Donnell's Challenge. Any man who can down 12 pints in one hour will be paid 20 quid and drink free for the evening. Should he fail, he will pay for his pints PLUS pay 20 quid to Sean O'Donnell, proprietor."
"Oh , Sean, me boyo" says Mike, "is the sign for true?"
"Faith and begorrah, Michael! D'ye think I'd be a lyin' t'me cli-yun-tell? O' course 'tis true! Are ye intrested?"
"I'll think on it" say Mike and he was out the door.
"Hmmmph!" grunted Sean as 'e poured 'himself a wee dram.
In one hour ten minutes by the clock, Mike returns, accepts the challenge and proceeds to drink 12 pints o' stout in just under 58 minutes!
Sean counted out 20 quid and, with true admiration and respect, handed it across the bar to Mike. "So tell me lad, didya leave for an hour to get your courage up 'fore you tried me challenge?" he asked.
"Nah" said Mike with a burp.
"Well, where did ya go? What did ya do?" Sean pressed.
"Sure, I popped round to Flaherty's pub and drank a dozen o' his pints JUST T'BE SHOOR I COULD DO IT!" Mike replied with that grin o' his. "Anyone fer darts?"

Paddy and Mike wanted to go to the US like so many others, but they didn't have the money for the ticket. So they decided to swim.
They got their gear, stripped down, and walked into the chilly water of the north Atlantic.
They swam for days and days. Nothing to eat, just a little jug of water in their packs to drink. Day after day they swam.
Finally, they saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance. Paddy called out "There it is, Mike! D'ya see it?"
Mike answered, "Ah, Paddy! I'm knackered! I can't make it. I'm gonna have to turn around and go back to Ireland."
