A man is waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and informs the dad that his son was born without a torso, arms or legs. The son is just a head!
But the dad loves his son anyway 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 and tearfully tells his son he is proud of him. Dad 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! Swoooop! Two arms pops 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! 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, "That boy should have quit while he was a head."

RAC, That was great! How funny.
I needed to hear a good joke. I miss the daily humor of being in an English speaking country. Two days left here in Hamburg and I am on my way back to Cairo.
So what, the Europeans don't enjoy a good joke? That's one thing you gotta really admire about us is our ability to see the humor in just about anything/situation. Even if we're the butt of the joke. Here's one you might try on our European friends.
Worlds Shortest Books:
"Italian War Heros"
"A History Of German Diplomacy & Fair Treatment Of Ethnic Groups"
"How France Won The War In IndoChina"
"Swiss Ethics On How To Avoid Profiting From The Suffering Of Others"
"The British Standard For Proper Dental Care"
"Eastern European Dietary Restrictions"
Go ahead...you're leaving in a day or two anyway.
I used to tell a variant of that joke, but I think I like this one better!
I saw Paul today and I mentioned how he was a nice blogger.You all are nice but,we don't always see eye to eye:)Oh well,that's the way it is with Ph.d kids!!!
Good one Rac!
RAC'ster, now that was funny!
