A 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, a 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.
.
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 bartender 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 man replied "I work for the IRS."
