Mermaid

"Mermaid"

A man was sitting in the bar when he noticed another
patron a few stools away. the guy had a body like
Charles Atlas, but his head was the size of a thimble.

The first man said, "Please excuse me for staring, but
I can't help but be curious as to why your body is so well
developed, but your head is so small?"

The man said, "Buy me a drink and I'll tell you." The
drink was ordered and the story began.

"I was in the navy and my ship was sunk by a torpedo.
I was the only survivor and I managed to make it to a
deserted island a few miles away. I had been there
alone for several months and was sitting on the beach
one day waiting for a bird or fish to come by so I would
have something to eat, looking up I saw a beautiful
mermaid sunning on a nearby rock. she swam over
to me and informed me that she was a magical mermaid
and could grant me three wishes.

"Great I said. I'd like to be rescued. She slapped the
water with her tail and a ship appeared, sailing straight
for my island.

"Next I asked for a body like Charles Atlas. Another slap
of the tail and here it is. Then, noticing how beautiful she
was and all my other wishes fulfilled I asked if I could
make love to her.

She said, 'No, it just wouldn't work her being half fish
and all.'

So I said, "Well, how about a little head then?"
