It seems like I get a lot more juice that way. If a lemon doesn't seem totally exhausted I pop it inside out and resqueeze. When I'm making a pitcher of whiskey sours, I need all the juice I can get. And hey, Dave's Gourmet. I'm a happy customer of their pasta sauces, which are carried at my local Vons. The masala marinara is good, and the butternut squash is terrific. The garlic and basil is the best tomato sauce I've ever had that wasn't made from scratch (and better than most of the from-scratch sauces I've had.) But seriously, the butternut squash sauce, you could thin it down and serve it as a soup and people would rave. I used to buy butternut squash ravioli, and they were never as interesting as handmade. But with that butternut sauce all you need is some basic cheese tortellini. Lordy, it's good. Before I squeeze a lemon, I roll it around on the counter, applying moderate pressure.

Good knives. I've wondered how well those squeezy-juicer things work. I use a wooden hand reamer - I'm sure it takes longer, but there is no juice left to be had when I'm done with that poor, poor citrus fruit. I have that knife! Good knives.
