A man walks into a bar and sees a sign that says, "Free drinks for a year! Just complete the challenge." Intrigued, the man walks up to the bartender and asks about the challenge.
The bartender explains, "You have to complete three tasks in order to win free drinks for a year. The first task is to drink a gallon of hot sauce without flinching. The second task is to wrestle a grizzly bear and win. And the third task is to make a woman laugh."
The man thinks about it for a moment and decides to give it a try. He chugs the gallon of hot sauce without flinching, much to the amazement of the other patrons. He then heads out back to the bear wrestling ring, where a massive grizzly bear is waiting for him. The man puts up a good fight, but ultimately the bear is too strong and he is defeated.
Defeated but determined to win, the man sets out to complete the final task of making a woman laugh. He approaches a beautiful woman in the bar and tries every joke in his repertoire, but nothing elicits even a chuckle from her. Feeling defeated once again, the man sits at the bar and orders a drink.
The bartender walks over and asks, "So, did you complete the challenge?"
The man sighs and says, "I completed the first two tasks, but I just couldn't make a woman laugh. I guess I'll never get free drinks for a year."
The bartender laughs and says, "Oh, don't worry about that. Making a woman laugh is the hardest task of all. But you did manage to make me laugh with your dedication and perseverance, so I'll give you free drinks for a year anyways."
And so, the man walked out of the bar with a smile on his face and free drinks for a year, all because he never gave up on completing the challenge.
