One
day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God...
"Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I
know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all
of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake,
but I'm just not happy."
"And
why is that, Eve?"
"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."
"Man?
What is that, Lord?"
"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 is
aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such
a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless
and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball
about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to
think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but
what's the catch, Lord?"
"Well...you can have him on one condition."
"And
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. And it will have to be our
little secret. You know, woman to woman."
