The
big squeeze...
¡@
The local bar was so sure that its bartender
was the strongest manaround 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 bartender paid the
$1000, and asked the little man "what do you do for a
living? Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?"
The man replied "I work for the
IRS."
