Tax Season Humor

Good stuff Tex.

I got one.

A bartender had a trick he used to win money. He would bet people in the bar that they couldn't squeeze 10 drops of lemon juice from a lemon after he had juiced it.

For years people would take his bet just sure they could do it. Black belts, power lifters, and lifelong construction workers with steel like grips would try, but none ever succeeded.

One day a thin spindly little man came in, about 60 years old wearing a light ash gray suit took the challenge. The bartender laughed and said "no way you will win are you sure you want to lose you money?" The thin little man said he was sure he wanted to take the challenge.

So the bartender got out a lemon and juiced it. The thin little man gripped it in his weathered hand and started to squeeze, one drop, then a second, so on and so forth until he had squeezed 42 drops out of the lemon. He had quadrupled the 10 drops the bet called for.

Blown away the bartender counted out his money. And just before he left, the bartender asked him how he done what no one had done in the years he had been playing the game?

The little man in the gray suit replied "Simple I have worked for the IRS for 35 years."
