$1,000 bet: The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the
juice ran into a glass and then 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 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 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.'
