a $1000 bet…
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 (weightlifters, longshoremen,
etc.) but nobody could do it.One day this 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 payed the $1000, and asked
the little man, “what do you do for a living? Are you a
lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?”The man replied, “I work for the Tax Office.”
