And he says to the Englishman, I'll bet you 50 euros you can't down ten draughts in ten minutes. So the Englishman agrees and puts down his money and swallows the ten without blinking. Well, the American wants his money back, so he offers the same bet to the Scotsman. The Scotsman says, Let's say 60 euros for a dozen draughts in a dozen minutes. The American agrees and the Scotsman puts down his money and swallows the dozen without blinking. So the American wants to cut his losses, so now he offers the same bet to the Irishman. The Irish just gets up and leaves. After a little time, he returns and asks if the offer is still good. The American is willing, so the Irishman puts down his money and swallows the draughts without blinking. Now the American is curious, so he asks, Where did you go just then?. The Irishman says, Truth be told, I've been drinking here already some today, and I wasn't sure I could put down another ten. So I went over to the pub next door to see if I could before I placed my bet
