A boy was walking down the road when he noticed an old geezer with an
unusually small head. The curious boy walked up to the geezer and
said, ‘Hey mister! Why the heck is your head so small?’ he old man
looked at the boy and replied, ‘Boy, if I wasn't so damn old, I'd
give you a beating... but since you remind me of myself at your age, I
will tell you.’
The boy listened curiously as the geezer explained, ‘One day I was
fishing on the pier when I got a huge bite... And, I said to myself,
'Holy shit! I've caught a whale!'‘ ‘No kidding?’ pried the boy.
The geezer continued, ‘But, when I reeled it up, to my surprise, it
was a gorgeous mermaid! Well, she looked at me in tremendous fright
and said she'd grant me one wish if I let her free...’
‘And?’ interjected the boy. ‘Well, after some quick thought, I
looked at her and said, 'How 'bout a little head?'‘
