Humor: Can YOU get any more juice out of the lemon?
His gig was this: For $20, he would take an ordinary lemon and squeeze the juice out of it with one hand. Then he would hand you the lemon and if you could squeeze one more drop out of it, he would pay you $100. So, I was interested enough to watch for a while, and man after man (NO women tried!!!) paid $20 expecting to be able to squeeze out a drop of juice from the lemon and none succeeded. After a while, there seemed to be no more people willing to part with their money and I was just about to walk away when a strange thing happened. A verrrrry dorky looking guy (in a shirt buttoned all the way to the neck even!) with square black plastic glasses and, I swear, a pocket protector walked up with a $20 bill. The strongman couldn't contain himself nor his disdain and said something like: "Go away little man, it would be like stealing from you" but the guy persisted. The strongman took his money and squeezed the lemon and handed it to the little guy. The little guy looked at the lemon in his hand and braced himself a little bit and straightened his glasses with his free hand. Then he began to squeeze and -to the WHOLE crowd's amazement- a drop! Even the strongman gasped I think. The little guy then continued to squeeze and another drop, then another! Pretty soon there was a little stream of juice coming out of the lemon! The Strongman accused him of cheating and grabbed a hold of his arms and pulled back his shirtsleeves looking for evidence. Finding none he relented and counted out 5 $20 bills. As he was handing the money over, he asked the guy "How did you do that?" The little guy replied: "Easy. I work for the IRS." OK, it's an old story... |

Thanks for the laugh! I enjoyed that one! Marianne Now wonder what happens if you handed him a stone? |
I was reading that and didn't see the punchline coming 
In my defence it's early and I'm blonde!! |
| I didn't see it coming either, Vicki. It's early here, too, but I'm not blonde. (although I've often been accused of being blonde at the roots) |
