The Creation of Man

Ancient Adam and Eve joke that I remember reading on a TV message board years ago:


Wandering dejectedly in The Garden of Eden, Eve told God, "I'm lonely and I'm tired of eating apples all by myself."

"Okay," God said, "I'll create a man for you."

Eve said, "A man! What's that?"

"He's a creature with aggressive tendencies and an enormous ego. He won't listen very well,he'll get lost easily, but never stop to ask for directions. However, he is big and strong, he can open jars and hunt animals. And he'll be fun in bed."

"Sounds great!" said Eve.

"Oh, and one more thing," God said. "He will want to believe that I made HIM first."
