Barneyism of the Week - The Mermaid Theory

Mark my words Marshall, someday you will find Iris so excruciatingly attractive
you won’t be able to look her directly in the boobs.

“I don’t think that’s going to be a problem” - Marshall

Marshall, do you know how the myth of Mermaids came to be?

It was 300 years ago.
Sailors stuck at sea would get desperate for female companionship.

It got so bad that eventually the manatees out in the water
started to look like beautiful women: Mermaids.

You see every woman, no matter how initially repugnant,
has a mermaid clock: the time it takes for you to realize you want to bone her.

Sure, today you see Iris as a manatee. But she ain’t going to stay that way.

Marshall, your secretary’s mermaid clock starts right…now.
