**I'm sure this is a true story! Liz**
Three guys are having a relaxing day of fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid -- who 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, "Okay, if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q."
The mermaid says, "Done."
Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly, and analyzing what he's recited with great 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 solutions to problems that have been stumping all the great scientists of the world: the mathematicians, physicists, chemists, and so on.
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 think you should reconsider."
The guy says, "Nope, I want you to multiply my I.Q. times five, and if you don't do it, I won't set you free."
"Please," the mermaid says, "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?" &am p;nb sp; But no matter what the mermaid says, the guy insists on having
his I.Q. increased to five times its usual power. Finally, the mermaid sighs and says, "Done." And he turns into a woman.
