A boy was walking down the road when he noticed an old man with an unusually tiny head. The curious boy walked up to the old man and said, ?Hey mister! Why the hell is your head so small??

The 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?ll tell you.?

The boy listened curiously as the old man explained, ?One day I was fishing on the pier when I got a huge bite? And, I said to myself, ?Holy chit! I?ve caught a whale!??

?No kidding?? pried the boy. The old man 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 about a little head???
