Monty by Jim Meddick for August 26, 2012
Transcript:
Holy cow! This is like totally amazing! I've heard stories about mermaids before, but I didn't know they really existed!!! Here. My hat will help protect you from the sun... And you can use this towel to cover your private areas... See. I know almost nothing about the care and feeding of a mermaid. I'd better do a Google search... Mermaid: a biblical being, half woman half fish. Some speculate the myth has its origins in the hallucinations of men long bereft of female companionship (like seafarers) who encountered sea mammals (like manatees or dolphins) in this sexually deprived state, men may have mentally transformed the sea creatures into the comely beings of legend. Mommy, why is that man dating a sea mammal? Avert your eyes, dear. Ok. This probably looks a little weird... But apparently this is a fairly common mistake, historically speaking...

Fairly common mistake? Only in Monty’s life. But it is funny.

Your first line, Monty, should have read “Holy sea cow!” But don’t worry: we don’t think of you as any weirder now than we did before…. Hear here Barbara Manatee!

He’s lucky it wasn’t a real mermaid. She would have dragged him into the water and totally drowned him.
