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
as well as he can, 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 and stumbles to the left then staggers to the right through the front door,
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!
