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 that business about the rib?
