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."

Fancy squeezing a lemon dry. I bet the tax man could get a bottle of oil from one olive!
