Two heavy drinkers were standing at the bar,
downing one beer after another.
When they had gotten a little, shall I say intoxicated,
or inebriated, one man said to the other,
"I bet you one hundred dollars you cannot swallow one hundred coins!"
The second man said, "Bartender! Another round for both of us.
And, I got 20 cents back, right? Well, give me the change all in pennies --
and another dollar's worth, besides!!"
After he finished drinking the brew, and drinking the pennies down,
he passed out on the floor
-- completely unconscious!
When the bartender called the ambulance,
a local newspaper reporter showed up at the hospital where he was taken.
"How is he doing?" the reporter asked.
The doctors, monitoring his situation, said
, "So far, no change."
