The joke about the man betting that he could piss straight in a glass from the
other side of the bar reminds me this one:



   A secret policeman noticed a man hurrying through central Prague with a
suspicious-looking bag under his arm.
   ``Hey, you there!'' he shouted. ``Stop where you are. What have you got in
that bag?''
   The man opened the bag, which proved to be full of banknotes.
   ``Where did all the money come from?'' asked the secret policeman
suspiciously.
   ``I'm a professional gambler. I won all that money in bets.''
   ``I will only believe you if you can show me here and now that you really
are an expert gambler,'' said the secret policeman sternly.
   ``All right, then. I bet you 500 coruna that I can bite my eye.''
   The secret policeman accepted the wager. The man proceeded to remove his
glass eye and bite it.
   ``I'm still not satisfied,'' said the secret policeman. ``You must give me
further proof of your talents.''
   ``I bet you 500 coruna that I can bite my other eye.''
   ``You're on,'' said the policeman.
   The man removed his false teeth, bit his other eye and relieved the secret
policeman of a further 500 coruna.
   The secret policeman was furious. ``That's just cheap trick,'' he shouted.
   ``You've still not proved to me that you really are a professional gambler.
I demand one more piece of proof.''
   ``I bet you 500 coruna that I can piss in your boot and it will smell just
like rose-water.''
   The secret policeman eagerly accepted, convinced that such a thing was
impossible. He took off his boot and the man pissed in it. He sniffed the
boot. It smelt not of roses, but of piss.
   ``Aha!'' said the secret policeman. ``Now you must pay me back five hundred
coruna. You're not so damned clever after all.!''
   The man paid back 500 coruna and turned to go.
   ``There's just one thing,'' said the secret policeman. ``You must have
known that you could'nt piss rose-water. So why did you suggest the bet in the
first place?''
   ``Look at the crowd of people over there,'' said the man. ``Each one of
them bet a thousand coruna that I wouldn't dare piss in your boot.''
