Woman

Eve calls out to God.

"Lord, I have a problem!"

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"Lord, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of
these wonderful animals and that hilarious comic 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 vain, glorious; all in all, he'll give you a
hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster & will like to hunt & 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'll also need your advice to think properly."

"Sounds great." says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. What's the
catch, Lord?"

"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. Just remember, it's our little secret......
You know, woman to woman."
