Thanks to JIM SANTOS (4896-1996) for this clip. The local tavern was so certain that their bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and then would hand the lemon to a customer. Anyone who could squeeze just one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people, including weight-lifters, longshoremen, body builders etc. had tried over time, but nobody could do it. Then one day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a cheap polyester suit. He said in a tiny, squeaky voice. 'I'd like to try the bet.' After the laughter had died away, the bartender grabbed a fresh lemon and squeezed away. Then he handed the remains to the little man. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the little man clenched his fist around the lemon - and six more drops fell into the glass! People asked in amazement if he were a lumberjack, professional wrestler - or what. The little man replied: "I'm an IRS agent."
