The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they had 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 but nobody could do it. One day, a scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit.
"I'd like to try the bet," he said in a tiny, squeaky voice. After the laughter had died down, the bartender grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. 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 bartender paid the $1000 and asked the little man what he did for a living. Was he a lumberjack, or a weightlifter, or what?
"I work for the IRS."

What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word yellow?
Yellow is the theme this week at I Heart Faces.

Lovely! What a great picture -- you are the best! And so creative. I have no idea what I'm going to enter!!
Hmmm...I thought of a Sunflower. I love that color yellow!! I might partake this week.Ihave been off for a while in the I ♥ department!
I have no problem with drinking. I believe in bars, but dislike much about them. I like the picture and believe in bartenders, too:).
Yellow. ummm Bees. Love them. Bumble Bees.
The picture is great and I loved the joke!
Cute jokes. I think of jonquils.
My Dad, he loved yellow. Come to think of it, he probably still does where he is...
Love the entry again.
Take care. xxx
Ahh, but what about yellow polyester suits? Do you believe in those?
Yellow... daffodils. Love 'em.
Hubby and I got a good laugh at the jokes especially the IRS joke. I like yellow and the first thing I think of is butter.

Yellow=Sunflowers and Sunshine.
Love this photo..really, you had to photoshop it?
I don't get photoshop. IS there something that I am missing? Do I need it?
Funny joke today...if it was not so true, it would be hilarious!
Yellow equals dandelions and buttercups and great big sunflowers. And the sun... always the sun. What a lovely pic... perfect for the theme! Now I'm thirsty...
Daffodils. :) Love yellow flowers.
Beautiful!!
A banana was the first thing that pooped into my head!

WOW....Drew made me look so much better than the reality of my sun damaged skin! I should put her on retainer!!! Couldn't you tell your blog friends that I had the apron up that high so it would be in the photograph...not because I think it's normal-I'm serious! Love you Beck
I think of sunshine, bananas...ans summer time! :)
Oh, Becky, I love your entry! So refreshing in so many ways. :)
Love this - perfect summery yellow!!
Oh....and all your recent post I haven't commented on...I love those too....ALL OF THEM!!
I am not a yellow person...but I love the rim of yellow around the orangeness of the sun as it dips below the hills and into the deep blue sky.
Great lemonade photo...as usual, I have to pause in awe at your pics!
lMnop
OH I love that photo! I don't know about the color yellow but it's my granddaughter Beauty's favorite color because it reminds her of the Holy Spirit.
Mmmmm... thirsty now.
Lovely!
Love the joke (I hope it's a joke anyway) - like Brad said this photo made me thirsty! How fresh and airy :)
Oh I LOVE it!! It's so crisp and clear! Beautiful!
That is summer at its best

Pretty Shot!
Your entry is perfectly refreshing! When I think yellow, I think of the sun. :-) Love the joke...maybe it's really not a joke?
Love it!
Yum. I am craving lemonade now! You always crack me up!
Leave it to you to always have the good jokes on here! Beautiful pic!!! You always amaze me!
i love your photography!
when I think yellow, i think pee. but maybe that's because we are potty training with our almost 3 yr old right now. :)
I love that joke, and that photo, and that shirt!
Beautiful picture - and it's making me thirsty!!!
Wow, you get a lot of comments! :) I can see why, your photos are awesome and I love this week's--really creative and fun! and a funny joke :) Can't beat it! Have a great week!
I love visiting your blog for a good giggle and great photo's. Thanks for sharing both.
Beautiful picture of a beautiful woman. Yellow makes me think of California Pizza Kitchen. I worked there for 5 years and there was a lot of yellow.
What a great story. It's always the ones that look like they can't that could. I don't think anyone likes the IRS. I've dealt with them one time when I tried to help my brother file an out of state income. Not so customer friendly people to deal with. Anyhoo, I think of my house when I hear "yellow" because my house is yellow :)
I adore this! It looks like it came straight out of a magazine.
Lemonade!!! Best drink in the world!
(Wow! 57 is a lot of comments :)
Is it OK that the first word that comes to mind is pee? Cause it is. Must be all that damn potty training I have been doing.
Forgive me, my friend.
xo,

You always have the best posts! Light. Sun. Warmth.
This just makes me shout SPRING!!
I love Yellow too! this is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
EEE! I saw these on your FB page. I totally and completely love it for several reasons but i really like that you included an adult and made her look beautiful (well, she's already lovely but your mad photographic skills make her even prettier). Hope this picture keeps you sunny and smiley!
HAHAH love the joke. Too true!
Beautiful shot.
Yellow makes me think of dandelions, since I don't have a back or front yard, I find them beautiful. Guess things will change a bit if we ever get a house =)
Gorgeous, fun, and unique shot!! I always love your quotes and jokes, too. :)
That pictures looks like it would grace the cover of Southern Living magazine.
When I think of yellow, I think of my mom. It is her favorite color!
Love this photo and your blog! So funny...thanks!
Haha, great joke! Lovely picture too!
I love your blog Becky! This is a great picture!
That's awesome! :D
Lemons are a great idea.
All I can think about are lemons, now! And I am sure thirsty!! :)
Yellow is totally not my fav color pic but I do so love lemonade! Freshly squeezed Meyerlemons are the juciest. In fact, I love lemonade so much that I order a clean washed lemon cut in half every time I eat out. I squeeze it in my water glass and add my stevia drops or packets. My husband and family are always betting if the waiter(ess) will bring the lemon cut in half the way I ask them (there is no way to check if it was washed or spit on :)) and there are always rolled eyes when it does arrive, LOL. I've seen all sorts of half cuts, quarters, etc y'all! HIlarious. I think it's so simple, but not to some people. But lemons is what I think of when Yellow is mentioned. Awesome pic and hilarious joke -IRS indeed, who else could squeeze not one more drop but 6!
Great photo! Loved the story you posted along with it! Too funny!
Love the photo! I love her outfit. Could she be any cuter! Seriously! Great Pic Bec!
What a fun shot! Nothing better than lemonade to capture the essence of yellow!
Excellent photo! Super story!
