Get it? Algae bras? Algebra? Telling jokes as a way to get out of math?
And, you almost missed out on the laugh because I had a such a hard time finding an appropriately wholesome mermaid picture on the internet to go with Sweet Pea’s appropriately wholesome – yet insanely clever – joke. (Unlike me until tonight, you probably already knew all about the Mermaid Parade held every year on Coney Island, the photos of which were of no help to me, at all.)
It was tonight that I also realized that most mermaids not only don’t even wear bras; they’re quite inappropriately seductive in their manner, which is really pretty interesting when you think about it too much like I started to do. Curvasious sea maidens moving fetchingly through the water with long, flowing hair, pouty lips, wide beckoning eyes, bare breasts – and legs fused together.
Don’t mermaids just release big jellyish poofs of eggs into the water like fish? Now THAT’S a sexy image.
Love the joke!
I thought that mermaids lured sailors overboard and then ate them. Or is that some other mythic creature? Kraken come to mind, but I don’t know why. Actually, I don’t even know how to spell Kraken. I’ll have to consult my daughter, the mermaid expert.
Shine On,
