| JUST A JOKE FOR THE HECK OF IT |
| A local bar was so sure that its bartender was the stongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would sqeeze 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, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it. One day a scrawney little man, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit came in and said in a tiny, squeak voice, "I'd like to try the bet." After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, and 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 do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?" The man smirked and replied, "I work for the IRS". |
