The Strongman
The local pub was so sure that its bar tender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet. The barman would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and then hand the lemon to a customer. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weight lifters, rowers, wrestlers, etc.) but nobody could do it.
One day Moshe, a scrawny little man, came into the bar. He went up to the bar tender and said in a soft voice, "I'd like to try the bet" After the laughter had died down, the barman agreed. He grabbed a lemon and
squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to Moshe.
But the laughter turned to silence as Moshe clenched his fist around the lemon and four more drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the barman paid the $1,000 and asked, "What do you do for a living? Are you a professional strong man, or what?"
Moshe replied, "I'm a fundraiser.
