     A father walks into a bar with his son, an 21 year old plagued  with
birth  defects.   The  son was without arms, legs or even a torso. He had
nothing from the neck down, just his head, and was surviving by some  od-
dity of nature. All he could wear was a hat.
     It was the son's 21st birthday though, and like other  fathers,  was
going to take his son out for a birthday drink.
     They stopped at a local bar and sat at the counter  and  the  father
said,  "Bartender, Give my son somthing so strong, with such a bite, that
my son will forget his defects and make him feel normal!
     The Bartender turned around and mixed a  concoction  that  was  bub-
bling, steaming, colorful and smelled like a demon. The bartender was ap-
prehencive, but gave the drink to the son.
     The son drank it down without even a breath  of  air.   He  beltched
real loudly and instantaneously a torso popped into place!
     The father, filled with excitement says to  the  bartender;  "Quick!
give  him  another"! The bartender shook his head in disagreement but ob-
liged.
     The son drank down the mixture the bartender had made, and  suddenly
there appeared an arm!
     The father again repeated his plea, and the bartender obliged.
     Sudenly another arm, then a leg, then....
     The last drink.  "Bartender just one more and my son  will  be  nor-
mal!"
     The bartender was very apprehencive, but again made another drink.
The son drank it down and just as suddenly as his body had  appeared,  he
totally disappeared.  Nothing left but the hat that was atop his head.
     The bartender said, "I knew this would happen!"
     The father inquired as to why the bartender had said such a thing..
     The bartender said, "I had my suspicions". "I just  knew  he  should
have quit while he was still ahead!"

                        so sorry about that,
                                Mike
