SQUEEZEDÂ
Â
The local bar was so sure 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.
Â
Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
Â
Many people have tried over time, including professional wrestlers and bodybuilders, but nobody could do it.
Â
One day, a scrawny little man came in, wearing a tie and a pair of pants hiked up past his belly button.
Â
In a squeaky, annoying voice, he said, "I'd like to try the bet." Even the ladies burst into laughter.
Â
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, "OK," grabbed a lemon, and squeezed
away. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
Â
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.
Â
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1,000, and asked the little man, "What did you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, weight lifter, or what?"
Â
The man replied, "I work for the IRS."
