the strongest man around

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around
that they offered 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 time (weight-lifters, truck drivers, etc.) but
nobody could do it. One day this scrawny little man came into the bar,
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 OK, 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 $1000, and asked the little man
'What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or
what?'

The man replied 'Actually, I work for the IRS.'
