Squeezing A Lemon |
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 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 scrawny little man replied "I work for the IRS." |
