One
day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God. "Lord, I have a
problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of
these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not
happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for
you."
"What's a man, Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie,
cheat, and be vain- all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be
bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when
he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way
that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will revel in childish things like
fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need
your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great." says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow,
"What's the catch, Lord?"
"Well... you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring... So you'll have
to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little secret
- you know, woman to woman."
