No-so-little Mermaid

*"No-so-little Mermaid"

*On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman
and their three sons. Early one morning, the woman
awoke, and while looking out of the window onto to
the pasture, she saw that the family's only cow was
lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless to
her -- how could she possibly continue to feed her family
now? In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself.

When the man awoke to find his wife dead, as well as
the cow, he too began to see the hopelessness of the
situation, and he shot himself in the head.

Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents dead
(and the cow!), and he decided to go down to the river
and drown himself. When he got to the river, he discovered
a mermaid sitting on the bank.

She said, "I've seen all and know the reason for your despair.
But if you will have sex with me five times in a row, I will
restore your parents and the cow to you."

The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply
unable to satisfy her again. So the mermaid drowned him in the river.

Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering
what had happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river.

The mermaid said to him, "If you will have sex with me ten
times in a row, I will make everything right."

And while the son tried his best (seven times!), it was not
enough to satisfy the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.

The youngest son woke up and saw his parents dead, the
dead cow in the field, and his brothers gone. He decided
that life was a hopeless prospect, and he went down to
the river to throw himself in.

And there he also met the mermaid. "I have seen all that
has happened, and I can make everything right if you will
only have sex with me fifteen times in a row. "

The young son replied, "Is that all? Why not twenty times in a row?"

The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request.
Then he said, "Hell, why not twenty-five times in a row?"
And even as she was reluctantly agreeing to his request,
he said, "Why not thirty times in a row? "

Finally, she said, "Enough!! Okay, if you will have sex with
me thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back
to perfect health."

Then the young son asked, "Wait! How do I know that
thirty times in a row won't kill you like it did the cow?"
