The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John "Scully" Scully for January 30, 2022

On The Edge -

A man 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 at least 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 in the jar and the keys to a brand new Lexus” -

The man certainly isn’t going to pass this up, so he asks, “What are the three tests?” -

“You gotta pay first,” says the bartender, “those are the rules.” -

So, after thinking it over a while, the man gives the bartender $10 which he stuffs into the jar. -

“Okay,” says the bartender, "here’s what you need to do: -

First – You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in 60 seconds 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’s never made love. 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, the man has a few more drinks and 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 drinks it in 58 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 loud growling, screaming, and sounds of a terrible fight — then nothing but silence! -
