God has a sense of humour?
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, 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 vainglorious; 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 aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll
create him in such a way that he will satisfy your ah, physical
needs. He'll be witless and 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?"
"Yeah, 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...So, just
remember...it's our secret... Woman-to-woman!"
