There are thse three guys who go out for a relaxing day of fishing, when out
of the blue, they catch a mermaid. The mermaid begs to be set free in return
for granting each of them a wish. One of the guys just doesn't believe it,
and says "OK if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q." The mermaid
says: "Done." Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and
analyzing it with extreme insight.
.The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid, "Triple my I.Q." The
mermaid says "Done." The guy starts to spout out all the mathematical
solutions to problems that have been stumping all the scientists of varying
fields - physics, chemistry, etc.
The last guy is so enthralled with the changes in his friends, 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." The guy says "Nope, I want you to
increase my I.Q. times five, 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...it'll change
your entire view on the universe...won't you ask for something else...a
million dollars, anything?" But no matter what the mermaid said, the guy
insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five times it's usual power. So the
mermaid sighed and said: "Done." And he became a woman. |
