The Power of Alcohol
A man is waiting for his 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! The dad loves his son however, raising him with love and compassion.
After 21 years, the son is now 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.
Swoooosh! A torso appears! The bar is silent; then bursts into whoops of joy. The father, shocked, begs his son to take another drink and he does.
The bartender continues to shake his head in dismay, but, Swoosh! Swoosh! Two arms appear!
The bar patrons go wild. The father, crying, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant, 'Take another drink! Take another drink!!' The bartender ignores the whole affair and goes back to polishing glasses, clearly unimpressed by the amazing scenes.
By now the boy is getting tipsy, but with his new hands, he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it. Plop! Plip!! Two legs appear. The bar is in chaos.
The father falls to his knees and tearfully thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs, stumbles to the left, then staggers to the right, goes out the front door, walks into the street, where a truck runs over him, killing him instantly. The bar falls silent.
The father moans in grief.
The bartender sighs and says,
"He should've quit while he was a head."
