Do You Want To Be A Mermaid Or A Whale?

From one smart woman to another - this is what the subject heading was on an email I received earlier today.
Girls, this one deserves to be said and read. I have made no changes, I have just put it down word for word as I received it.
Hear, Hear..Madam whomever you are, I applaud and support your thinking....
Now read and enjoy........
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin
and tanned 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 Barren 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 a coffee 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!"
Loud, strenuous applause....
Celebrate Life as a Whale!!

Good question Frank … what was your answer to it??

I guess the woman in question is actually quite conscious of her weight, and might even be suffering from a sort of inferiority complex, and she’s just trying to hide behind “excuses”. There is nothing wrong with enjoying food but it’s just as important to stay fit by either working out in a gym or simply jogging/cycling outdoors. We don’t really need to put on weight as we grow older, that’s just another feeble excuse. I am not saying that we should judge someone by their weight, it’s obviously the heart that matters.. but for you own health it’s best to not be a human whale.
Some good thoughts there Shane, thank you!

Great post! It would make us readers realize to be more conscious with how we look! I would definitely be a Mermaid who could attract and be loved than a whale..hheheheh..Thanks!

Funny post but really … I like being a Beautiful woman… I am not going to be a fat whale and I AM POSITIVE I’m not going to smell like fish. So in my opinion, this is a stupid unrealistic blog post. “Good Gosh, Look how smart I am!”
