Three men were out sea fishing when one of them hooked a mermaid. She promised to grant each of them a wish if they'd let her go.
"OK," said the first fisherman. "I want you to double my intelligence." No sooner had he made request than he found himself reciting Shakespeare's Macbeth.
"Jeez!" the second man exclaimed. "In that case, I want you to triple my intelligence." He immediately started spouting Einstein's equations on the theory of relativity.
"That's amazing!" the third fisherman yelled. "Quintuple my intelligence!"
"Are you sure?" the mermaid asked him. "You might not like the outcome."
"I'm sure. Just do it," the man said.
He closed his eyes to wait for the wish to be granted and - poof! - he turned into a woman.
