The local bar had a standing $1000 challenge: the bartender would squeeze a lemon until not a single drop remained, then hand the rind to a challenger. If they could squeeze even one more drop, they’d win the cash.
Over the years, plenty of tough guys tried—dockworkers, boxers, even pro wrestlers—but nobody ever managed it.
One night, a burly biker in a leather jacket strolled in, his boots echoing across the floor. With a smirk, he said, “I’ll take your bet.”
The bartender laughed but agreed. He grabbed a lemon, squeezed it until it was bone dry, then handed the pitiful remains to the biker.
To everyone’s amazement, the biker clenched the rind in his fist and squeezed. One... two... three drops trickled into the glass.
The bar exploded with cheers. The bartender handed over the $1000 and asked, “Alright, man—what’s your deal? You a powerlifter or something?”
The biker chuckled as he pocketed the cash.
“Nah,” he said. “I’m the guy who tightens the bolts on Harleys at the factory.”
