10 How I Met Your Mother Jokes That Have NOT Aged Well
2. The Mermaid Theory
300 years ago a bunch of sailors were stuck at sea. They had gone many months without any female companionship, and for lack of better vocabulary, these bros were mad horny.
Then they spotted an island on the horizon on which lounged a bunch of manatees. Needless to say, our dear sailors were disappointed.
After a while, they checked the island again. Lo and behold, the manatees had transformed into beautiful mermaids. Overcome with joy, our sailor bros tried to bump fists and went off to get some tail.
You may ask, “What’s the moral of the story?” Well, every woman has a mermaid clock. No matter how repugnant you find her at first, you’re gonna want to bone her some time. Those are Barney’s words, not mine. But once a woman gets pregnant, she turns right back into a manatee. Still Barney’s words.
Not so funny without the laugh track now, is it?
