One day, in the Garden of Eden, Eve called out to God, “Lord, I have a problem!”

“What’s the problem, Eve?”

“Lord, I know that you have created me and this beautiful garden and these wonderful animals including that comedic snake, but I am just not happy.”

“Why is that, Eve?” came the reply from above.

“Lord, I am lonely. And sick to death of apples.”

“Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you.”

“What is a man, Lord?”

“A man is flawed creature, with many undesirable traits. He will lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he will give you a hard time. But he will be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. Since you’ve been complaining, I will create him in such a way to satisfy your, uh, physical needs. He won’t be too smart, and will need your advice to think properly. He will be witless, and revel in childish things, like kicking a ball about.”

“Sounds great,” says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. “What’s the catch, Lord?”

“Well, you may have him on one condition …”

“What is 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. You must remember and keep it as our little secret. Woman to woman!”
