The Little Mermaid
Three friends are enjoying a relaxing day of fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid. She begs to be set free. In return, she promises to grant each man one wish.
One of the men just doesn't believe it, but he says, "O.K., if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q."
The mermaid says, "Done!"
Suddenly he starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing it with remarkable insight.
The second man is amazed. He says to the mermaid, "Triple my I.Q."
And the mermaid replies, "Done!"
He begins to spout out the mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping scientists in various fields for decades.
The third man is so enthralled with the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid, "Quintuple my I.Q."
The mermaid looks at him. "You know, I normally don't try to change people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you would reconsider."
The man replies, "No, I want 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 your asking...it'll change your entire view of the universe...won't you ask for something else..a million dollars, anything?"
But no matter what the mermaid said, the man insisted that his I.Q. be increased by five times its usual power.
So the mermaid sighs. "Done!"
And with that, he became a woman!
Sorry! Couldn't resist!! 
Love,
