The local bar was so sure that its barman was the strongest man around that they offered a standing £1000 bet.
The barman 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, sportsmen, etc.) but nobody could do it.
One day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny squeaky voice "I'd like to try the bet."
After the laughter had died down, the barman 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 six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the barman, with tears in his eyes, paid the £1000, and then asked the little man, "Hey man, what do you do for a living? Are you a weight-lifter, martial artist or what?"
The man replied, "No, I'm an Inland Revenue Tax Inspector."

Why do MEN let go of a GREAT woman, with fantastic qualities, when they don't want anything serious at that moment, and when you move on they want you back??

Anyone ever been in this situation?

I recently found a used PC on eBay. It has everything I need, but the seller states that he scrubbed the HD and has no OS installed. The computer has a Windows XP Pro COA attached to the case. Is there a way to legitimately get a recovery disk without buying a new OS?

I met this guy on net and we emailed each other for a month to get to know each other (first time I did the net dating thing I was bored). Im just wandering how long does it take a guy to buy his girl gifts, a nice rose or anything would be nice. Is there a time period or does it depend on the guy?

I'm making white chili for the office. I put slightly too much chili pepper in it. Then I decided to dilute it with water. Now it is slightly too runny. It is edible and tastes good now, but I would like to thicken it up. Of course I could boil off the water but that would concentrate the chili pepper. Anything else I can do like add corn starch.
And if so, can you give directions on what to do??
Thanks from Tampa

All the other questions I've been able to answer. These two on the other hand i've tried over and over just in case I made a minor mistake in the method but I'm doing something wrong and it never works out. first q: 2x^6-x^4+x^3+6x^2-5x, x+2. Answer's supposed to be 154. I keep getting 138? I did do the step of having 0x^5, and adding the +0 at the end to make it complete but its still not working out. Another thing that gets me is division using fractions which the book fails to explain properly. second q: x^5+3x^3-4x^2+6x-8, 3-2x. Thank you.
