FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. -- A woman was found near Table Mountain, California on Tuesday morning, and she doesn’t seem to know who she is, the Fresno Police Department said.

“She was wet, she said she had been in the lake, said she needed help and needed to be taken to the hospital,” said Fresno Police.

The woman was found about 3:15 a.m. walking in the middle of the street.

When she was found, her hair was wet, and she was mostly naked. She told officers she had been in the water.

She answers, “I don’t know” to most questions, police said. She has claimed to be a mermaid named “Joanna.”

“We did go through records after fingerprinting her and we still did not come up with her identity,” said Hudson.

She is 5-foot-4, weighs 150 pounds and has webbed feet.

“There are some strange things that happen up here,” said neighbor Karon Renwick. “We’re in the mountains.”

You don’t do crazy? I assume that means you don’t date women.

I have never heard of lake mermaids. Maybe she’s confused and was supposed to be delivering a sword. Did she have a sword?

There are no such thing as real mermaids, so she is going to have to either fess up to a hoax or regain her memory.

That said, there is some massive fascination with being a mermaid among millenial women. I blame the Disney movies. There are thousands of young women buyng these ungodly expensive fin outfits that fit to the waste and then photograph themselves sitting or swimming in their pools and elsewhere.

Used to be that only teen guys refused to grow up. Now teen girls are refusing responsibility too.

Just google mermaid outfit or mermaid pool or such. Ypu will get all kinds of pictures of girls dressing up in these mermaid fins.

Probably a good call. Married women are not noted for their willingness to share.

She doesn’t care about that. She just doesn’t want to deal with crazy.

I don’t like to be touched so an affair is out of the question.

Seattle people living as mermaids. Quite bizarre.

Kate McKinnon freaks me out anyway. She’s hilarious, but I’m convinced she’s certifiably insane.

MacKinnon is so good and deserves that Emmy. She owned Hillary. She just blanking nailed her.

But a-hole Baldwin is horrible at playing Trump. The old guy who used to do it was perfect. They should bring him back. Alec is funny on his game show but as Trump he is a one dimensional antidote to comedy.
