There was once this guy who liked to travel
from pub to pub across the countryside. One day, he came up to a pub
he had never heard of. He went inside and sat at the bar. �What�ll
it be?� asked the bartender. �A beer thanks, but what�s that
jar?� he said pointing up to a jar on the top shelve. �Well,
anyone who can drink it wins the collected prize money, which stands
at around $80 right now.� said the bartender. �What�s in it?�
the man asked. �Used to be a spittoon, everyone spat in the thing
as a joke and now were looking for a brave man.� The man looked
around at all the people watching attentively, �No that�s a bit
much for me I think.� Then suddenly people from in the pub started
betting money on it. �Come on! Give it a go!� said people from
the bar. Before the man knew it the bet had gone up to $500! The
bartender brought the jar down from its shelve. People by then were
yelling and chanting for the guy to do it.
Then with consideration, �I�ll drink it!�
said the man. Screams of encouragement came from all around. He
unscrewed the top of the jar and picked it up off the bar. Everyone
in the pub fell silent. The man lifted it to his mouth and started
drinking it. The sight was horrible! People everywhere were looking
at him drinking all the flem and couldn�t believe it. �Stop, its
making me feel ill!� said one of the people in the bar. Then other
people started yelling out, begging the man to stop, but he didn�t!
�Don�t worry about the money, we�ll give it all to you, just
stop drinking it!!!� came from the audience of patrons. But he
didn�t stop!
Finally, he had finished it, and dropped the
jar onto the floor. People in the pub were vomiting and dizzy. One
then came up to the man, �Why didn�t you stop, I said we would
give you the money!� The man, green in the face looked up and
said, �I couldn�t � it was all one piece!�
