A man is waiting for wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and
informs the dad that his son was born without torso, arms or legs.
The son is just a head! But the dad loves his son and raises him
as well as he can, with love and compassion.
After 21 years, the son is old enough for his first drink. Dad
takes him to the bar and tearfully tells the son he is proud of
him. Dad orders up the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With
all the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender
shaking his head in disbelief, the boy takes his first sip of
alcohol.
Swoooop! A torso pops out! The bar is dead silent; then bursts
into a whoop of joy. The father, shocked, begs his son to drink
again. The patrons chant, "Take another drink!" The bartender
still shakes his head in dismay. Swoooop! Two arms pops out.
The bar goes wild.
The father, crying and wailing, begs his son to drink again. The
patrons chant, "Take another drink!" The bartender ignores the
whole affair. By now the boy is getting tipsy, and with his new
hands he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it.
Swoooop! Two legs pop out.
The bar is in chaos. The father falls to his knees and tearfully
thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs and stumbles to the
left... then to the right... right through the front door, into
the street, where a truck runs over him and kills him instantly.
The bar falls silent. The father moans in grief. The bartender
sighs and says, "That boy should have quit while he was a head"
