LEMON SQUEEZER



At a local bar in downtown Anywhere.....


The owner & bartender, was so sure that he 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 then hand the lemon to the patron.





Anyone who could squeeze two more drops of juice out of it, would win the money.





Many people had tried,.....over the years:


weightlifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody had ever been able to do it.





One day, this scrawny little fellow came into the bar,


wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit.


He sat down, ordered a glass of draft, & started looking around the bar.





After reading the sign on the wall about the lemon challenge, he said in a small voice:


"I was just reading your sign, and I'd like to try the bet."





After the laughter had died down, the bartender said:


"Ok,..."


He grabbed a lemon and squeezed the heck out of it.....


Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little fellow.





But the Crowd's laughter turned to total silence....


as the man clenched his little fist around the lemon....


and six drops fell into the glass.





As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the guy his $1000, and then asked little man:


"Do you mind if I ask what do you do for a living?


Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?"





The little fellow quietly replied:


"I work for Revenue Canada."

Newfoundlanders Fire Insurance










A man and his wife moved back home to Newfoundland , from Vancouver



The wife had a wooden leg and to insure it in BC was $2000.00 a year!







When they arrived in Newfoundland , they went to an Insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure the wooden leg.







The agent looked it up on the computer and said to the couple, "that'll be $39.00".



The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Newfoundland to insure, because it cost him $2000.00 in BC!







The agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said, 'Well, here it is on the screen, it says:



*Any wooden structure, with a sprinkler system over it, is $39.00.*







I always did find the Newfie's logic far superior to most others
