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: 'Ok, if you can really grant wishes, than double my I.Q.' The mermaid says: 'Done.'
Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analysing it with extreme insight. The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid: 'Triple my I.Q.' The mermaid says: 'Done.'
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: 'Quintiple 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. 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 I.Q. increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighed and said: 'Done.'
And he became a woman.
