“Squeezing Lemons”
The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around
that they offered a standing $1,000 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 (weightlifters, longshoreman, etc.), but
nobody could do it.
One day, a scrawny little man came in, 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 $1,000, and asked the little man, "What on Earth do you do for a
living?"
The man replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I work for the IRS."
