Higher IQ
There's these three guys and they're out having
a relaxing day fishing. Out of the blue, they
catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in
return for granting each of them a wish. Now
one of the guys just doesn't believe it and says,
"Okay, if you can really grant wishes, then
double my IQ." The mermaid says, "Done".
Suddenly 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 IQ".The mermaid says,"Done".
The guy starts spouting out all the mathematical
solutions to problems that have been stumping
all of 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 IQ".
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 IQ times five and if you don'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 on
the universe...won't you ask for something else.
..a million dollars, anything?" But no matter
what the mermaid said, the guy insisted on
having his IQ increased by 5 times its usual
power. So the mermaid sighed and said, "Done".
And he became a woman.
