My first thought about this fellow who puts on a fin to swim as a merman and now markets fins far and wide: Very strange. My second thought: I’d like to try one.
I remember asking my mom for some rope as a kid once, when we were spending time by a pool. She asked why. I said it was so I could tie my ankles together and be a mermaid in the pool. She said no. Clearly this guy’s mom didn’t say that. And so, I put this to my mother: Imagine the heights I could have reached. Just imagine.

As a mermaid, wouldn’t it have been more about reaching the depths (rather than the heights)? 😉
Good point, good point! 🙂
