Little Tommy was born as just a head, no arms, no legs, no body.
One day he turns to his Mom and says, “Mommy Mommy, if I’m a good boy all year and I eat all my vegetables will Santa bring me a body for Christmas?”
“We’ll see!”, says Mom. The year goes by and Christmas arrives,
Little Tommy wakes up bright and early to discover, right below his neck, a torso.
He rolls down the stairs yelling “Mommy Mommy, Santa brought me a body!!”
“That’s amazing Darling!”, Mom replies.
Almost a year goes by and Christmas rattles around again.
“Mommy Mommy, if I’m a good boy all year and I eat all my vegetables will Santa bring me arms for Christmas?”
“We’ll see!”, says Mom. The year goes by and Christmas arrives,
Little Tommy wakes up bright and early to discover, sure enough, Little Tommy has arms.
He leaps onto his palms and down the stairs yelling “Mommy Mommy, Santa brought me arms!!” “That’s amazing Darling!”, Mom replies.
Almost another year passes and Christmas arrives again.
“Mommy Mommy, if I’m a good boy all year and I eat all my vegetables will Santa bring me legs for Christmas?”
“We’ll see!”, says Mom. The year goes by and Christmas arrives,
Little Tommy wakes up bright and early to discover, a pair of fully functional legs with feet to boot.
He sprints down the stairs yelling “Mommy Mommy, Santa brought me legs!!
“That’s amazing Darling!”, Mom replies.
Little Tommy can’t believe his luck.
“Mommy Mommy, I just have to go tell Little Billy I have legs!”
Little Tommy throws open the front door, bounds outside and is immediately killed by a passing car.
The moral of the story?
Quit while you’re a head.
