Got this in an e-mail and thought you would all enjoy:

Recently, in a large city in France, 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, 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? Just look at them ... where is
IT?

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 piece of
chocolate 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 grief, look how smart I am!"

Cute!
And worth the reminder that we don't need to be a size 2 - that we did this to get healthy!
