"That's an interesting story," the other man said, sitting up on the towel. "Sit down here with me and have a beer and I'll tell you the story. You see, I was on this very beach, walking along like you were, when I saw a mermaid out there by the rocks. I swam out and snuck up on her and caught her. As you might know, mermaids will give you three wishes so that you will release them. Well I'd always been a 97-pound-weakling sort of guy and couldn't get girls so the first wish I wished to have the body of Charles Atlas, the body builder. And POOF! I was changed instantly into a strong, viral man. Next I thought to myself I will need a place to take the girls I will be getting, so I wished for a million dollar beach front mansion, and behind you is my magnificant home.

So now I have the body and the place, all I need is the girl, right? So I turned to the mermaid and wished that I could make love to her. She explained that she was just a fish from the waist down and could not make love with a human. So I said to her, 'So how about a little head?'"
