Title: Whale or Mermaid????
Post by: tubes on November 21, 2009, 11:55:12 AM
I received this email today from a friend. Very funny, especially the P.S. part.   ;D


Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young,
 thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:
 THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?
 A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not
 match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the
 question posed by the gym.
 
 To Whom It May Concern:
 
 Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions,
 curious humans).. They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and
 have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins
 stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing
 wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of
 Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs.
 They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than
 humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the
 world.
 
 Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining
 up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity
 crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill
 men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex?
 Therefore they don't have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get
 close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
 
 The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.
 
 P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea
 that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice
 cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a
 coffee with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate
 so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more
 room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy,
 we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I
 look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good gosh, look how smart I
 am!
