"Quick, everyone!" the man shouts. "Big Frank is coming!"
A panic ensues. Chairs are thrown as people try desperately to be the first to leave. One mother just drops her baby on the floor, picks up her skirts, and runs. Several people are badly injured, but eventually the young lad is the only one left. He decides to stay. If he beats this so-called Big Frank, he'll be a hero.
After waiting for a solid hour, he finally hears a horse's hooves on the ground outside. Soon, the largest man he has ever seen is squeezing through the door. He has an enormous moustache and a smell that almost makes the young lad throw up.
"Gimme a whiskey!" bellows the man. Trembling, the lad pours the man a drink. He knocks it back in one gulp. "Gimme another!"
The lad ends up giving the man nine drinks, after which the man still looks totally sober. "Another!" he yells.
"You-- You have to pay for the drinks you've already had," stutters the lad. The man stares the lad right in the eye. "I'll make you a deal, kid. Let's arm wrestle. If you win, you get everything I own. If I win, I get as many free drinks as I want."
"D-- Deal," he replies, staring at the man's disgustingly huge muscles.
After a long struggle, the lad somehow finds the strength and motivation in him to beat the huge man. They're both in shock, but the big man eventually says, "Alright, kid. All my land and possessions are yours."
"Gee, thanks!" says the young lad. I'll be a legend when I tell everyone about this! he thinks.
The man says, "Here's your money. I should get going anyway. Aren't you coming?"
"No. Why would I?"
"Jesus Christ kid, haven't you heard?! Big Frank is coming!!"
