Easy money for some


Recommended Posts

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 a 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.

He then 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."
