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 father moans in grief. The bartender
sighs and says...
