Â
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 each
other. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in
pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc., that 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."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.
Three weeks passed, and God once again visits Eve in the garden. "Well, Eve, how is
my favorite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "but for one oversight on your part. Â
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? Â
