I’m curious: how do mermaids pee, or reproduce?

“so we have another five to 10 pounds strapped between our legs”

Just so many things to say here...

Our tails can weigh up to 35 pounds, but the saltwater makes us float, so we have another five to 10 pounds strapped between our legs

Everybody has problems.

At the risk of taking the thread in a family-unfriendly direction, are these mermaids clothed above the waist?

If not, I think I can imagine where some of the mermaid demand might be coming from...

Otherwise, not to discount mermaid performance artistry, but I just don’t get the point of the “profession”.

I know 2 of them. They seem to have more fun making money than I do. But they don’t make as much.

There used to be mermaids in San Marcos, Texas, but the University bought the springs and exterminated them.
