Sis was up at Dick Knox’s bar having a glass of wine. This dude came and sat down beside her. Sis said to him, “Do you want to gamble? I will bet you one dollar that you can’t swallow this oyster and keep it down.” The man answered, “I love oysters, I will take that bet,” and they both place a dollar on the bar. The man grabbed the oyster and swallowed it. After about a minute as he picked up the money, Sis said to him, “Well, that’s funny, I swallowed that oyster three times and it came up all three times!!”
