Eve chats with God

"Lord, I have a problem."

"What is it, Eve?"

"I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these

wonderful animals, especially that hilarious snake, but I'm just not happy."

"And why is that Eve?"

"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."

"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 and faster and will like to

hunt and kill things. 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

playing cards and knocking a ball about.

"He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think

properly."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows," but what's the

catch?"

"Well,..... you can have him on one condition."

"And what's that Lord? "

"Well, since he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring, 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."
