The local bar was so sure
that its bartender was the
strongest man around that they offered a
standing $1000 bet. The bartender
would squeeze a lemon until all
the juice ran into a glass, and hand the
lemon to a patron. Anyone
who could squeeze one more drop of juice out
would win the money.
Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, longshoremen,
etc.)
but nobody could do it.
One day this scrawny little man
came into the bar, wearing thick
glasses and a polyester suit, and
said in a tiny squeaky voice “ I’d like
to try the bet“
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a
lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind
to the little man.
But the crowd’s laughter turned to
total silence as the man clenched
his fist around the lemon and six
drops fell into the glass!!
As the crowd cheered, the bartend
er paid the $1000, and asked the
little man „what do you do for a
living? Are you a lumberjack, a
weight-lifter, or what?“
The scrawny little man replied „I work for the IRS.“
