A local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around 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.<\/p>\n
Many people had tried over time (professional wrestlers, longshoremen, etc.), but nobody could do it.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
After the laughter had died down, the bartender agreed, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. He handed the dried, wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.<\/p>\n
The crowd’s laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and SIX drops fell into the glass.<\/p>\n
The crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and he asked the little man, “What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight lifter, or what?”<\/p>\n
The man replied, “I work for the IRS.” (Remember, your taxes are due today!) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
