Three guys were talking in the local bar. The manager was so sure that
its bouncer was the strongest man around that it offered a standing
$1,000 bet that no could beat him.
The challenge was that the landlord would squeeze a lemon until all
the juice ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to the
customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more drop out of the lemon
would win the money.
Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers,
weightlifters, karate masters, and all had failed. Then one day this
geeky little fella with heavy black rimmed glasses came into the bar
and asked if he could try the challenge.
After the laughter had subsided the landlord said that it was only
fair that the man be given a chance at the bet, so he picked up a
lemon and started squeezing. Once he was done he handed the remains to
the little man who promptly squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto
the bar!
Everyone looked on in amazement as the landlord handed over the prize
and asked "What do you do for a living that has given you such
strength? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter, what?" "No" the man
replied, "I work for the IRS."
