I wish my head was a helium balloon.

Wouldn't it be cool if your head was really a helium balloon? Just think about it. You could look however you wanted with an erasable marker. Want to be happy, just draw a smile. Sad, erase the smile and draw a frown. If you see somebody you don't want to recognize you, just erase your blue eyes and use a brown marker. Draw a mole or two and then make your nose bigger or smaller.

It would also be really hard to insult somebody with a balloon for a head. Try it. For example, you could be called an air head and it would be true. If somebody tells you to let off some steam, you could let a little air out, this would also work for a "big head" too.

You would never have to worry about a hat that didn't fit, cause you could change the size of your head at will.

Another plus is the fact that you would never drown. Yep, your head could be used as a flotation device.

There are a few downers though. You would never be able to pierce a part of your head.... Police officer asks what happened and the poor lady with the needle gun says "I just put this needle gun to his ear and his head exploded."

Static charge would be a pain also. If you ever dragged (drug? not sure what the past tense subjunctive form is for drag) your feet, you would run the risk of your head getting stuck to walls.

You would also have a really annoying voice. It may be funny for a while, but would anybody want to hear that voice all the time.

Now that I think about it, maybe a Helium balloon for a head isn't such a great idea. A jelly-doughnut though...
