Adam's rib

.

Garden of Eden Dept:

Dear Readers:

The Editor has been somewhat cattily informed by a member of the fair sex, that  the  real reason Eve was created was that The Lord and Master felt that He "could do better" after creating Adam.

Isn't that just too cute?

It took awhile, but The Editor has been able to confirm that MiLady was basically right.  But Her Royal Highness for whatever reason left the tale of man's creation quite incomplete, stopping at the point:

...and God scratched His head and said I can do better than this!

Then she left it at that!!!... can you imagine??

To clear the air, here is the REST of the ugly story:
------------------------------ 
...and God scratched His head and said I can do better than this!

...continued...

So He caused Adam to sleep and created the woman called Eve out of his rib.  When finished, He looked at the fruit of his labor, slapped himself hard in the face and cried out loud: 

No, no, no... that's ALL wrong!!! 

Back at the drawing board again He created Spot, the trusty Golden Retriever to forever serve as Man's Best Friend.

And He said: Ahhhhh... THAT'S what we're looking for; someone who will be faithful to Adam to the death, obey his every command without question, eat what's put before him without complaining, has no clue what a birthday or anniversary is, doesn't care if Adam leaves the seat to the commode up or down, has no problem with Adam drinking milk right out of the bottle, loves to play in the dirt, thinks that channel-hopping is cool, and lighting farts is hilarious. 

Unfortunately enough, Eve was already made, and God being God absolutely refused to just 'undo her'. Besides, there was the very real complexity of restoring Adam's rib;not an easy job even for the most skilled of orthopaedic surgeons. 

Editor's note: OK, so strike me with lightning already... 

Besides that, Adam had already P.O.ed The Lord mightily with his unrelenting complaints about being 'lonely' and 'bored stiff'.

So God  left Eve with Adam as his punishment.  But He at least had enough compassion to add Spot, the trusty Golden Retriever to the group so as to console Adam in his grief at receiving such a bad lot in life.

Later on, Eve also P.O.ed The Lord by tricking Adam into eating of the forbidden fruit, so He also invented hunting, fishing, NASCAR, high heeled shoes, dishpan hands, and cigars as a payback to Eve.

Although there is no record of the particulars, Adam must have done something else VERY wrong for Him to have created such tortures as alimony, women drivers, quiche, nagging, headaches, Valentine's Day, neckties, nose-hair, tennis bracelets and telltale lipstick stains.

I don't know. Maybe He was just evening up the playing field for the both of them... the records lost forever, we'll never know for sure. 

Arggghhh - quiche!! I wish the boy had quit while he was ahead.
