Hmmm
Eve called 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
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."
"What is that Lord?"
"It 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 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," said 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."
