QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD

>>> A man was waiting for his wife to give birth when the doctor came in and
>>> informed the new dad that his son was born without a torso, arms, or
legs.
>>>
>>> The son had only a head! But the dad loved his son anyway, and raised
him as
>>> well as he could, with love and compassion.
>>>
>>> After 21 years, the son was old enough for his first drink. Dad took him
to
>>> the bar and tearfully told the son he was proud of him. Then Dad ordered
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 took
his
>>> first sip of alcohol.
>>>
>>> Swoooop! A torso popped out of the bottom of the son's head! The bar was
>>> deadly silent; then burst into a whoop of joy. The father, shocked,
begged
>>> his
>>> son to drink again. The patrons began chanting, "Take another drink!"
The
>>> bartender stood still, shaking his head in amazement.
>>>
>>> Swoooop! Two arms popped out. The bar went wild. The father, crying and
>>> wailing, cried for his son to drink again. The patrons continued their
>>> chant:
>>> "Take another drink!"
>>>
>>> But the bartender turned his back at this point, ignoring the whole
affair.
>>>
>>> By now the boy was getting tipsy, but with his new hands he reached
down,
>>> grabbed his drink, and guzzled the last of it. Swoooop! Two legs popped
out.
>>>
>>> By now the bar was in chaos, with the father on his knees, thanking God.
>>> The boy stood up on his new legs and stumbled to the left, then to the
>>> right,
>>> then right through the front door, and into the street, where a truck
ran
>>> smack into him, killing him instantly.
>>> The bar fell silent. The father began to softly moan in grief. The
bartender
>>> picked up the boy's empty glass, and began to clean it, muttering, "That
boy
>>> should have quit while he was a head."
