American goes to a bar in Russia. He says out loud "I've heard you Russians are all drunks, so I'll make a 500$ bet with anyone who thinks he can drink a whole bottle of vodka in less than a minute."

Everybody in the bar started staring at the American, one guy even ran out of the bar.

Few minutes of silence pass.

Suddenly, the guy that ran off comes back and says "Deal! I'll take the bet!"

The bartender gives him a bottle of vodka and the Russian empties it in seconds.

The American is stunned. He gives the Russian his well earned 500 bucks and says "Wow, you ran off at first and now this?"

The Russian replied "I didn't run away. I just went to the other bar to check if I could pull that off."
