A nation's navy employs mermaids to distract personnel of an invading force. They grant the nation time to evacuate civilians from coastal cities and towns. These are the Civil Defense Sirens.

Sounds like something Steven Wright might have said.

While I'm at it, a couple more quotes from him.

"I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly."
"If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely is not for you."

I like side jokes, for example (from Groucho):
"Outside a dog, a book is a man's (person's) best friend.
Inside a dog, its too dark to read."

There are lots of jokes based playing with meanings of ____-side words.
