Lemon


The local bar is so sure that its bar tender is the strongest man around
that they offer a standing $1,000 bet. The bar tender squeezes a lemon until
all the juice runs into a glass, and hands the lemon to a patron. Anyone who
can squeeze one more drop of juice out of it wins the money. Over time many
people have tried, but nobody has succeeded.


One day a scrawny little man comes in, wearing thick glasses and a
polyester, and says in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the bet."


After the laughter has dies down, the bar tender says OK, grabs a lemon, and
squeezes away. He then hands the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little
man.
But the crowd's laughter turns to total silence as the man clenches his fist
around the lemon and six drops fall into the glass.


As the crowd cheers, the bar tender pays the $1,000 and asks the little man,
"What do you do for a living? Are you a logger, a weight-lifter, or what?"
The man replies, "I work for the tax office."
