And God created Eve
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve.
"So, how is everything going?" inquired God.
"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied, "the sunrises and sunsets are
breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have
just one problem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one
pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms,
catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real
pain," reported Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other
parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc., she
felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more
"symmetrically balanced," as she put it.
That is a fair point," replied God, "but it was my first shot at this,
You know. I gave the animals six breasts, ! so I figured that you needed
only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right
away."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the
bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
"Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "but for one oversight on your part. You
see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has
her bull; all the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone."
God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right. How
could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately
create a man from a part of you. Now let's see....where did I put that
useless boob?"
Now, doesn't that make more sense than that bull about the rib?
