“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.
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 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, 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. Woman to woman.”

Eve really didn't bargain well did she?
Sick to death of apples? Did not the garden of Eden also have other fruits? Eve could have had a fruit salad.
Sue - People do crazy things when they're lonely.
River - ... I must restrain myself from typing a gay joke. There are gay people that come here. Time to move on.
It reminds me of the old joke with the punchline, "Well ... what can I get for just a rib?"
River is right. Nowhere in the bible does it claim that the fruits of the tree of knowledge are apples.
Well, this explains a lot :-)
Good one!
Bill - I remember that too.
Stu - Absolutely. I see that mentioned every once in a while. I would prefer a peach tree.
Shirley - Yes it does.
Kathy - Yes, and we are correct, right?
Woman to woman... good one!
Allen - Aren't you glad they think we're a gift?
