an April classic joke from Jake
The local bar was so
sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a
standing $1000.00 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: weightlifters, football & hockey
players, but nobody could do it.
One day, this scrawny little fellow came into the bar, wearing thick glasses
and a polyester suit, and said in a small voice, "I'd like to try the
bet."
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, "OK"; grabbed
the lemon; and squeezed away. 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 $1000.00 and asked the little man:
"What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or
what?"
The little fellow quietly replied: "I work for Revenue Canada."
