The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the
strongest man around that they offered a Rs 10,000
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 like weight-lifters, wrestlers, body
builders, etc had tried over time, but nobody could
do it.
One day this scrawny little man came in, wearing
thick glasses and a safari suit, 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. 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
5-6 drops fell into the glass. As the
crowd cheered, the bartender paid the Rs 10,000, and
asked the little man, "What do you do for a living?
Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?"
"No," replied the man.
"I work as a project manager in a software company !! "
