I found myself in a pub in Mumbai and a group of US tourists came in.
One of the USs said, in a loud voice, "I hear you People think you're great drinkers. I bet $999 that no-one here can drink 3 bottles of Jack Daniels in 10 minutes."
The bar was silent, the US noticed Golu leaving, no-one took up the bet. 20 minutes later Golu who left returned and said, "Hey Yank, is your bet still on?"
"Sure," said the US person, "3 JD in 10 minutes for a bet of $999."
"Great...," replied Golu, "so pour the whisky and start the clock."
It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds to spare.
"OK Yank, pay up." said Golu.
"I'm happy to pay, here's your money" said the US. "But tell me, when I first offered the wager I saw you leave. Where did you go?"
"Well sir," replied Golu, "$999 is a lot of money to a man like me, so I went to the pub across the road to check if I could do it!
