One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God,
"Lord I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Adam?" God replies.
"Lord I know you created me, and have provide for me, and surrounded me with
this beautiful garden and all these wonderful animals, but I'm unhappy."
"Why is that?" come the re[ly from heaven.
"Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and
all these beautiful animals, but I am lonely."
"Well Adam, in thar case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a
'woman' for you."
"What's a 'woman', Lord?"
"This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful
creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure
out what you want, before you want it. She will be so sensitiveand caring
that she will know your every mood, and how to make you happy. Her beauty
will rival that of the heavens and the earth. She will unquestioningly care
for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you,"
replies the heavenly voice.
"Sounds great."
"She will be, but this 'woman' is going to cost you, Adam."
"How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?" Adam replies.
"She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, and an ear."
Adam ponders this for some time with a look of deep thought and concern on
his face. Finally Adam says to God, "Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?"
