The Bet
The bet......
At a bar in New York City the bartender was so sure that he was the
strongest man around, that he offered a standing $1000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a
glass, and then hand the lemon to the patron.
Anyone who could squeeze two more drops of juice out of it, would win the money.
Over the years, many people had tried,.....
weightlifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody had ever been able to do it.
One day, a scrawny little fellow came into the bar,
wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit.
He sat down, ordered a glass of beer, & started looking around the
bar. After reading the sign on the wall about the lemon challenge, he
said in a small voice:
"I was just reading your sign, and I'd like to try the bet."
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said:
"Ok,...." He grabbed a lemon and squeezed all the juice he could out
of it . Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little
fellow.
But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched
his little fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the guy his $1000, and then
asked: "Do you mind if I ask what do you do for a living? Are you a
lumber jack, a weight-lifter, or what?"
The little fellow quietly replied: "I work for Internal Revenue Service."
..... And, it is tax time.
