Mermaid or Whale?

 

Mermaid or Whale

What would you Choose?

 

 

 

Recently, in a large city in Australia , an advertising 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, 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 CD'S.

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 an 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?  Just look at them ... where is IT?
Therefore, they don't have kids either.  Besides,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 piece of chocolate 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's distributed to the rest of our bodies.
So we aren't really heavy...we are just enormously cultured, educated and happy.
Beginning today, whenever I look at my butt in the mirror I will think,

^Good grief, look how smart I am^
