    Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.

    Edit: Let me revise that to say “Because sailors never got drunk enough to admit seeing that version when they got drunk enough to see it.”

      😂 So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! 🥃🧜‍♂️🍻

          Exactly! ‘Just enough rum’ is a myth it’s always ‘one more rum’ until the ship starts spinning! 🥃😂

              Classic sailor move! At least it’s easier to find your boat than your car after a night out… unless the tide’s got other plans 🌊
