Head Games
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,
tearfully tells the son he is proud of him and 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 pop 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 bartender sighs and says, "That boy should have quit while
he was a head."
