Thursday Specials ~ Three Scientist
These three scientists decided to go fishing one day. So they packed up all of their gear and headed down to the lake.
They were having terrible luck, they weren’t catching a thing. All of a sudden, one of the scientists feels a pull at his line. He shouts out, “I got something, I got something!”
So he reels his catch in and much to his surprise, it’s a Mermaid. She tells the scientists, “If you let me go, I will grant you each one wish.” Well they think that’s a pretty good deal, so they agree.
The first scientist, the one who caught the Mermaid, tells her, “I want you to double my IQ.” The Mermaid says no problem. Snaps her fingers, and suddenly he’s solving all of these problems they had been working on for months.
So the next scientist thinks that’s pretty neat, so he tells the Mermaid, “I want you to triple my IQ.” So the Mermaid says, “No problem.” snaps her fingers once again, and now this scientist is finding cures for AIDS and Cancer.
So the last scientist is really excited about all of this. He tells the Mermaid, “I want you to quadruple my IQ.”
The Mermaid looks at him and says, “Are you sure about this? I’m not so sure you want to do that.” But the scientist is stubborn and tells her, “You granted the other guys wishes, now grant mine or we’re not letting you go.”
So the Mermaid sighs and says, “Whatever you want.” She snaps her fingers and the scientist turned into a woman.
Senior moment. I do not remember who sent this one.

Grannymar, considering the growing army of the thought police I am so happy that some of us still have the courage to be politically incorrect.
However, what I now want to know (and may he not turn in his grave): Was Einstein a woman in disguise?

Charmine - Welcome to the party. I look forward to you returning and joining in the fun.
Ursula - Although I suffer senior moments, I never met Einstein, well I don’t recall meeting him or her!

Very good. Of course with that massive IQ, he’d be able to adapt to his new existence very easily. And with his new body, he’d get wined and dined by the other two scientists.

Well, that is a very good story. And so true! I’m delighted to see Charmine over here. She’s from India too you know!

Off I go fishing for a merman!
On a more serious note, have you heard Chris Rea’s Going Fishing? If you haven’t, you must.

Nick - We women do that all the time!
Gealikaa - I am pleased to have Charmine visit and her blog gives another insight into life in India. My Elly will get worried one of these day!
Magpie - I missed that programme today.
Ramana - What does a merman look like? I like that song

Here’s an update on my part installed, new shock-absorber, better known as Hip Replacement:
I’m using muscles that I wasn’t allowed to use before, making my walk different. Now I walk like a drunken sailor.
