LEMON SQUEEZE
The local bar was so sure that its bartender was  the strongest man around that they had 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 timebut nobody could do it.    One day, a scrawny little man came in, wearing  thick glasses and a polyester suit.
"I'd like to try the bet," he said in a tiny, squeaky voice.    After the laughter had died down, the bartender grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away.  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  $1000 and asked the little man what he did for a living. Was he a lumberjack, or a weightlifter, or what?
"I work for the IRS."
