The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the
strongest man around that they offered a standing
$1,000 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 even 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.

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 $1,000,
and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living?
Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?"

"No," the man replied. "I work for the IRS."
