How true and funny!!

Someone sent this to me and thought how true and funny.

 
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan 

woman appeared in the window of a gym.  It said:

THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE? A middle aged woman,

whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on

the poster, responded publicly to the

question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea 
lions, curious humans)..  They have an active sex life, they get
pregnant and have adorable baby whales.  They have a wonderful time with
dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp.  They play and swim in the seas,
seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of
Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs..
They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than 
humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in
the world.

Mermaids don't exist.  If they did exist, they would be lining up outside

the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis.

Fish or human?  They don't have a sex life because they kill men who

get close to them not to mention how could they have sex?
 
Therefore they don't have kids either.  Not to mention who wants to
get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the 
idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an
ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and
wine with my friends.  With time we gain weight because we accumulate so
much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it
distributes out to the rest of our bodies.  So we aren't heavy, we are
enormously cultured, educated and happy.  Beginning today, when I look
at my butt in the mirror I will think, good gosh, look how smart I am.
