Actually something very similar to this did happen to Adam at a local watering hole called R&R's out here on the Great Katy Prairie......:-)

There was a young man named Thornton Who definitely did not go to Wharton, He decried other schools Saying they graduate fools Not able to rhyme like those at Princeton
With glee, he offered to meet All comers who'd "bring beer" to the fete Not a soul took the bait As Thornton drank his own weight Falling off the spinning bar seat.
Alas we shall never know If anyone could enter the throe For before the challenge was met Thornton's evening was already set Gazing up from the floor below!

We need an appropriate venue, of course. I would suggest that it be a roundtable--kept amply supplied with alcohol, of course--with an ante of $50/number-of-competitors (we can raise this, of course, if people want). Play proceeds clockwise around the table; anyone who cannot come up with a limerick when it is his or her turn is out of the game. Repeat until there's only one person left. Winner takes all.
Now: when and where becomes the question.
