Mike BirdwellSqueezing 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 man replied "I work for the IRS."
