A man walks into a bar.
He goes up to the bartender and asks if he likes to gambleJOUER ↔ PARIER.
The bartender says, "Sure, I’ll take a bet. What’s your wagerMISE ↔ PARI?"
The man offers a €50 betPARI DE 50 € that he can bite his own eyeballMORDRE SON PROPRE ŒIL. The bartender, thinking it’s easy money, accepts, and is shocked when the man removes his glass eyeŒIL EN VERRE and bites down on it.
Laughing, the man notices the bartender is upsetBOULEVERSÉ ↔ FURIEUX about losing his money, so he offers him a chance to win it backRÉCUPÉRER SON ARGENT. "Double or nothingPARI DOUBLE OU RIEN: I bet I can bite my other eye."
The bartender thinks it overRÉFLÉCHIT. He knows he was tricked out of €5050 €, but he also knows this man can’t possibly have two glass eyes, so he pulls another €5050 € from the till and accepts the bet.
The man promptlyIMMÉDIATEMENT takes out his false teethFAUX DENTS and gently closes them around his other eye.
Now the bartender is visibly angry about losing €100100 €, and the man’s laughter isn’t helping. Just before he throws him outLE FAIT SORTIR, the man raises his hand.
"Really sorry about that, palMON AMI ↔ POTE. I pull that stunt all the time, but you’ve been a good sportBEAU JOUEUR ↔ UN BON PARTICIPANT, so I’ll give you another chance to win some cash.

It’s tricky, so I get two attempts."
The bartender, eagerIMPATIENT ↔ DÉSIREUX to win back his money, thinks about how difficult this would be—especially with only one eye to line up the shot—and willinglyVOLONTAIREMENT | SANS HÉSITATION accepts the bet.
The man drops his trousersPANTALON. When the bartender puts the shot glass on the counter, the man shouts, "Go!" prompting the bartender to slide it along the bar.
The man chases after itPOURSUIVIT, aiming carefully. However, urinating while runningURINER EN COURANT isn’t easy, so only a few drops land in the glass by the time it reaches the other end.
Catching his breathREPRENDANT SON SOUFFLE, the man reminds the bartender he has a second attempt. "The first was just to get his bearings," he says. Once again, he shouts, "Go!" giving the bartender the cue.
Again, the man chases wildly, spraying urineÉPARPILLANT DE L’URINE all over the bar, stoolsTABOURETS, floor, and even hitting bottles behind the counter. Not a single drop finds its way into the shot glass.
Head hanging low, he hands the bartender 500 €. The bartender gleefully accepts, jumping up and down in joy at the cash he has just won.
Suddenly, a man at the back of the bar slams his fist on his tableFRAPPE SON POING SUR LA TABLE and screams, "Bloody hellMINCE ! ↔ DIABLE !"
The bartender muttersMURMURE ↔ GROMMELLE at the 'urinator': "What's the problem with that guy?"
The man replies, "Oh, I just bet that guy 10 000 € I could piss all over your barURINER PARTOUT DANS TON BAR, and you’d jump up and down with joyVOUS SAUTERIEZ DE JOIE."
