"The Strongest Man" - Rated PG

A 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 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 a scrawny little man wearing thick glasses and a polyester
suit came 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 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 $1,000, and asked the
little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a
weightlifter, or what?"

The man replied, "I work for the IRS."
