A man is waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and
informs the dad that his son was born without a 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 now old enough for his first drink. For the
21st birthday, dad takes him to a bar, tearfully tells the son he is
proud of him and orders up a shot of the best bourbon the bar has
to offer.
With all of the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender
shaking his head in disbelief, the boy drinks the shot.
Swoooosh! Plop!! A torso pops out! The bar is dead silent ; then
bursts into whoops of joy. The father is shocked, but begs his son
to do another shot. The patrons chant, "Take another drink!"
The bartender continues to shake his head in dismay. Swoooosh!
Plip! Plop!! Two arms pop out.
The bar goes wild. The father, crying and wailing, begs his son to do
another shot. The patrons chant, "Take another drink! Take another
drink!!"
The bartender ignores the whole affair and goes back to polishing
glasses, shaking his head, clearly unimpressed by the amazing
scenes.
By now the boy is getting tipsy, but with his new hands he reaches
down, grabs his shot glass and polishes off the last drop. Plop! Plip!!
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 and then staggers to the
right through the front door, into the street, where a truck runs over him
and kills him instantly. The entire bar falls silent.
The father moans in grief. The bartender sighs and says,
"He should have quit while he was a head!"
