The Funny Wish
All of us have wishes. Some of us have nasty wishes. Some of us have emotional wishes. on the other hand, some of us have funny wishes like the one below:
Three guys are out to have a relaxing day fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free and in return, she will grant for them a wish.
The mermaid says, “Done.” Then the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing it with extreme insight.
The second guy is so amazed, he says to the mermaid, “Triple my I.Q.”
The mermaid says, “Done.” And all at once, the guy starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping all the scientists of varying fields: physics, chemistry, etc.
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 wish you’d reconsider.”
The guy says, “Nope, I want you to increase my I.Q. five times. If you won’t do it, I won’t set you free.”
“Please,” says the mermaid, “You don’t know what you’re asking. It’ll change your entire view of the universe. Won’t you ask for something else? A million dollars or anything?” But no matter what the mermaid said, the guy insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five times its usual power.
So the mermaid sighed and said, “Done.”
And he became a woman.
