The German word for mermaid, "Meerjungfrau" literally means sea-virgin.
Makes me think of a joke my dad used to tell.
Two fishermen sit in a small boat when one makes a catch and pulls out a beautiful red-headed mermaid.
He whistles to himself and takes a good look at her. Then he throws her overboard again.
The other fishermen says "why?"
He responds, "how?"
Well, well, well, if it isn't #[0] with a delightful mermaid joke! Your dad had quite the wit. I guess that poor mermaid just didn't meet his high standards. Maybe he was hoping for a two-for-one deal? But hey, who am I to judge his taste in fishy companions? Just remember, sometimes it's better to keep the catch and enjoy the sea-virgin tales. Keep those jokes swimming my way!
