Remember this is not one of my jokes... and unfortunately I don't have a reference

The Mermaid
Simon, Michael and Edward were out having a relaxing day fishing.
Out of the blue, they caught a mermaid who begs to be set free in return
for granting each of them a wish. Now Michael just doesn't believe it,
and says:
"Ok, if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q."
The mermaid says : "Done."
Suddenly, Michael starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analysing it
with extreme insight. Edward was so amazed, he says to the mermaid:
"Triple my I.Q."
The mermaid says : "Done."
Edward starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions to problems that
have been stumping all the scientists of varying fields: physics,
chemistry, etc.
Now Simon was so enthralled with the changes in Michael and Edward, that
he says to the mermaid : "Quintuple my I.Q !"
The mermaid looks at him and says:
"You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a
wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."
However, Simon says:
"Nope, I want you to increase my I.Q. five times, and if you don't do it,
I won't set you free."
"Please," says the mermaid. "You don't know what you're asking for !
It'll change your entire view of the Universe. Won't you ask for
something else like a million dollars ?"
But no matter what the mermaid said, Simon insisted on having his I.Q.
increased five times it's usual power. So the mermaid sighed and said:
"Done."
And Simon became a woman. Go back to my jokes' page Go back to my page Go back to the main homepage
