One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve called out to God to come down to talk to her.
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Well, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals including that hilarious snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"I am lonely," said Eve, "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, God?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll generally give you a hard time. But...he'll be bigger and faster, and can help protect you, and will like to hunt and kill things to eat. He will look silly when he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll
create him in such a way that 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 sometimes to think properly."
"Sounds great." said Eve. She raised an eyebrow ironically. "What's the
catch?"
"Well... you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, God?"
"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."
