A local bar was so confident their bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until every last drop of juice was in a glass, then hand the lemon to a customer.
Anyone who could squeeze out even one more drop would win the money.
Over the years, many people tried, including weightlifters, dock workers, and bodybuilders, but nobody could do it.
One day, a skinny little man in thick glasses and a cheap polyester suit walked in and said in a tiny squeaky voice, “I’d like to try the bet.”
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed until the rind was completely dry. Then he handed it to the little man.
The bar fell silent as the man clenched the lemon in his fist…
…and six more drops fell into the glass.
The crowd erupted.
The bartender handed over the $1,000 and asked, “What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack? A weightlifter?”
The man replied, “I work for the IRS.”
