[nilesfunnies] Fw: Squeeze that lemon

Squeeze that lemon
The local pub was so sure that its head barman was the strongest that they
set a £500 bet.

The barman would squeeze a lemon until as much juice as he could get out
came out. If anyone could then squeeze out any more from the lemon than he
had they would win the money.

Many people tried (including weight lifters, truck drivers, builders, etc)
but no one could squeeze out any more.

Then one day a pale, skinny streak of a man came to the pub and said in a
high pitched voice, "I'd like to try the bet, please!"

Once the laughter had died down the barman said, still in hysterics,
"Okay" and then squeezed the lemon with all his might, giving the wrinkled
lemon to the little man once he could squeeze out no more.

The little man then held the lemon and gently applied a little pressure.
The whole pub gasped as he squeezed and out came 6 drops! Stunned, the
barman admitted defeated. But before he handed over the prize money he
asked the man, "We've had all sorts of the strongest men try, from weight
lifters to truckers, mechanics to lumberjacks and none have beat me. So
where did a skinny runt of a bloke like you get learn how to squeeze out a
bit more?"

"Easy," replied the man, "I work for Inland Revenue!"

Cheers, neil
