Mermaid

Did you read the article about the woman who lost her legs as a child and then had a prosthetic mermaid tail made to replace them?

Apparently, losing your limbs is ok because now you can play The Little Mermaid. I want to know a few things first. Don’t you think this sort of thing would make swimming in the ocean dangerous? You’re going to get attacked by a shark, or caught and gutted and put on show at a museum. The one I REALLY want to question though is the one about sex. Shouldn’t there be some sort of slit there for sex?

Could you even IMAGINE mermaid sex? And what if she gets married? What does her fiance tell his mother?
“Mom, this is Bridgett, she’s half fish. She’s your fish in law.”
When she gets pregnant, does that mean she’s going to lay eggs? I actually looked up the definition of baby fish. They have two names, Fry & Fingerling, which sounds like some sort of duet band. The name Fingerling does NOT help my case of dirty fish sex jokes. The mermaid sex is the one that interests me the most, mainly because no matter who you are, or what you believe, deep down in your soul, you know you want to see that. You know you wanna see it, admit it! You wanna see some guy try and get it one with a fish tail! Admit it! Would “cleaning the fish bowl” now be a euphemism? I mean, can you catch diseases from a mermaid?

“I’m sorry sir, you have Algea. We ran your tests 3 times, and found Algea, and on top of that, we are afraid that you may have a slight case of Kelp. Now we know we have medicines to treat both of these.”

Here’s the video in case any of you are interested, and feel free to leave your dirty fish jokes in the comment section.
