Evil Genie

There are three guys enjoying a relaxing day of fishing. Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who begs to be set free in return for granting them each one wish. Now one of the guys just doesn't believe it and says, "O.K., if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q.


The mermaid says, "Done!"


Suddenly the guy starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing it with extreme insight. The second guy is so amazed he says to the mermaid, "Triple my I.Q."


And the mermaid replies, "Done!"


The guy starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping scientists in various fields. 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 other people's minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you would reconsider.


The guy replies, "No, I want 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 your asking...it'll change your entire view of 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 it's usual power.


So the mermaid sighed and said, "Done!"


And with that, he became a woman!
