Small Head

A man is sitting in the bar when he notices another patron a few

stools away. The guy had a body like Charles Atlas but his head

was the size of a thimble.

The first man said, "Please excuse me for staring but I can't

help but be curious as to why your body is so well developed but

your head is so small." The man says, "Buy me a drink and I'll

tell you." The drink was bought and the story began.

"I was in the navy and my ship was sunk by a torpedo. I was the

only survivor and I managed to make it to a deserted island a

few miles away. I had been there for several months and was

sitting on the beach one day waiting for a bird or a fish to

come by, so I would have something to eat. Looking up I saw a

mermaid sunning on a nearby rock. She swam over to me and

informed me that she was a magical mermaid and could grant me 3

wishes.

"Great, I'd like to be rescued." She slapped the water with her

tail and a ship appeared, sailing straight for my island.

Next I asked for a body like Charles Atlas. Another slap of her

tail and here it is.

Then noticing how beautiful she was and all my other wished

fulfilled I asked if I could make love to her. She said no, it

just wouldn't work, her being half fish and all, so I said

"Well, how about a little head then?"
