One day in the garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem."

"What's that problem, Eve?"

"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all these wonderful animals and that hilarious snake, but I'm not happy."

"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.

"Lord, I am lonely and sick of apples."

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."

"What's a man?" asked Eve.

"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego, and an inability to emphathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fishing, fighting, and hunting fleet-footed rodents, and not altogether bad in the sack..."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow..

"Yeah well, he's better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick, but you can have him on one condition."

"What's that, Lord?" asks Eve.

God replied..."Because of his ego...you'll have to let him believe that he was created first...."
