The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a $5000 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 like weight-lifters, wrestlers, body builders, etc had tried over time, but nobody could do it.
One day this scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a rumpled 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 5-6 drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid $5000, and asked the little man, “What do you do for a living?
Are you a weight-lifter, or what?”
“No,” replied the man.
Honestly, this is such a perfect joke. Just change the punchline and it can apply to anyone that works in an environment where they squeeze the last living part out of anything.
