$10 Test

       A fellow walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on
      the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim
      with $10 bills.

      He guesses there must  be more than ten thousand
      dollars in it.
      He approaches the bartender and asks,

      'What's with the money in the jar?'

      'Well......you pay $10 and if you pass three
      tests, you get all the money and the keys to a brand new Lexus.'

      The man certainly isn't going to pass this up. And
      so he asks,  'What are the three tests?'

      'You must pay first...... Those are the
       rules,' says the bartender.

      So, after thinking it over a while, the man gives the
      bartender  the $10 and the bartender drops it into the jar.

      'Okay,' the bartender says, 'here's what you need to do:

      First - You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in
      a minute  or less, and you can't make a face while doing it.

      Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back
      with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare
      hands.

      Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who
      has never had  sex.... You have to take care of that problem!'

      The man is stunned. 'I know I paid my $10, but
      I'm not an idiot! I won't do it! You'd have to be nuts to drink
      a quart of tequila,  and then do all those other things...'

      'Your call,' says the bartender..... 'but,
      your money stays  where it is.'

      As time goes on, and the man has a few more drinks, he
      finally says,'Where's the damn tequila?'

      He grabs the bottle with both hands and drinks it as
      fast as he can.  Tears stream down both cheeks... but he
      doesn't make a  face, and he did it in fifty-eight seconds!

      Next, he staggers out the back door, where he sees the
      pit bull chained to a pole. Soon the people inside the bar hear
      growling, biting, and screaming  sounds ... then nothing but
      silence!

      Just when they think the man surely must be dead, he
      staggers  back into the bar, with his shirt ripped open and
      there are scratches and he's bleeding all over his body.

      He says, 'Now where's that old woman with the
      bad tooth?'


      The moral to the story: Listen carefully to the
      directions, and  don't trust your judgment when alcohol is
      involved!
