Mermaid

This water nymph adorns the bar of an Afghan restaurant in Falls Church. She spoke to me, figuratively.

Beware of mermaids. They will lure you into deep waters and then eat you.

Actually I thought of that after I posted this ... if she had spoken to me audibly instead of figuratively (or worse yet, sung to me) I could have been lured over to the bar where I would have met an untimely and gruesome demise, drowned in a watery/ethanolly grave.
Whew! Talk about a near miss.
