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've created me and have provided this
beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but
I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from
above.
"Lord, I'm 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 aggressive
tendencies, an enormous ego, and an inability to
empathize or listen to you. All in all, he'll give you a
hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more
muscular than you. He'll be extremely gifted at fighting
and hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not all that bad
'in the sack' if you know what I'm saying."
"That sounds wonderful," says Eve, with
curiosity.
"Yes, well, he's better than a poke in the eye with a
burnt stick... Eve, you can have him on one
condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him
first."
