Eve's Side of the Story...
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
sun rises and Sunsets are breathtaking; the smells,
the sights -- everything is wonderful."
"But I have just this one problem. It is these three
breasts that 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, snagging
them on bushes. They are a real pain," reported Eve.
Eve went on to tell God that many other parts of her
body (such as her limbs, eyes, and ears) came in
pairs, and 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." 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. "Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation
now?" "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 the business about a rib?
