    The Juice is Worth the Squeeze

    Read the masthead up above where it says, "Squeeze my lemon, make the juice run down my leg!"

    And know that yes, "The juice is worth the squeeze."


    The Juice is Worth the Squeeze.
    - Forrest Griffin

    It is just a successful metaphor, I think.
    It you are squeezing a grapefruit, an orange or a lemon, it is always some work.
    Sometimes, the result is worth while.
    It can apply to any effort which you make to get a result.

    The expression is encountered in different other forms:
    - "the juice is not worth the squeeze"
    - "make sure that the juice is worth the squeeze"
