In Brandon, a local bar Owner (Clancy’s) was so sure his bartender was the strongest man around that he offered a standing $1000 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, truck drivers, farmers etc.) but nobody could do it. Then one day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses, a polyester suit, a navy overcoat, and said in a tiny squeaky voice, 'I'd like to try the bet.'  
 
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, 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 bar Owner paid the $1000.00 and asked the little man, 'what do you do for a living? Are you on Steroids, a genetic freak or what?'  
 
'Nope', the man replied, 'I work up the road in the Federal Building for Revenue Canada.'  
 
Notes: Clancy’s does not have the strongest bartender in Manitoba.  
 
Clancy’s is not offering $1,000 if you cal squeeze juice from lemon peel.  
 
Don’t be hard on Tax people: remember they brought down Al Capone because that was the only Government department that refused to take Bribes.
