Unfortunately, I tripped on the  sharp coral as I tried to escape with the formula, and popped my 'floatation devices'!

Anonymous

Fortunately I had spare set, nicer than the ones that popped and was able to hypnotize them into thinking that I was their queen and they must do whatever I say.

ruthbru

Unfortunately, they worshipped and adored me too much to let me leave.

suzwes

Fortunately, I needed a vacation so didn't need to leave immediately.

Unfortunately, my Publisher called to tell me the book "You Know You Are a Cancer Patient When..." was in final revisions,  and I needed to get back to NYC ASAP to meet with the other Sisters/writers from BreastCancer.Org....

suzwes

Fortunately, 2 of the mermen said they would accompany me to New York and be my escorts to the gala affairs that I was also invited to.

ruthbru

Unfortately, they don't fit very well into a tuxedo with their tails and all!

Fortunately Project Runway was filming and their task was to make mermen tuxedos

ruthbru

Unfortunately, the merman didn't see the need to hide their assets.

hbcheryl

Glad to oblige squidwitch..... watchu doing awake at 1 o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately it's summer in the city so it is appropriate for assets to be on display....

ruthbru

Unfortunately, we are mobbed by reporters.

hbcheryl

Fortunately with their swishing tails we are able to clear a path and make it through to the banquet.

ruthbru

Unfortunately, the banquet was a seafood buffet, which infuriated the mermen.

hbcheryl

Fortunately "The Village People" were performing on stage and I was able to distract them by teaching them the YMCA dance.

suzwes

Unfortunately, the mermen jumped (or hopped) onstage and were mobbed by hundreds of adoring women.

ruthbru

Fortunately, security stepped between them and the fans and we were able to escape in our stretch limousine.

suzwes

Unfortunately, the stretch limousine got a flat tire half way to our luxury hotel, the Waldorf!

ruthbru

Fortunately our chauffeur was quickly able to change it and we were on our way to our penthouse suite.

suzwes

Unfortunately, our penthouse suite had not been cleaned up from the latest rock star who had just stayed there.

ruthbru

Fortunately, the mermen were excellent cleaners and soon had the suite cleaned, and champagne chilling in a silver bucket.

suzwes

Unfortunately, I tripped over the bucket and cut my chin before I could taste the champagne.

ruthbru

Fortunately, the mermen kissed the boo boo, and it felt all better!

suzwes

Unfortunately, kissing the boo boo is as far as they got because I fell asleep

Unfortunately, when we tried to check out the next  morning, we didn't have enough money to pay the bill.

hbcheryl

Fortunately we were the one millionth guests and our room and all food and berverages were comped by the management.

ruthbru

Unfortunately, all the time out of the water was adversely affecting the mermen's health.
