The local bar was so sure that its 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 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 (weight lifters, longshoremen, wrestlers, etc...) but nobody could do it.
One day this scrawny little man wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit came in 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. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
The crowd's laughter turned to silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender pays the $1000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight lifter, or what?" The man replied............
"I'm a fund raiser for the United Jewish Appeal".
