"I 'm lonely," Adam complained to God in the Garden
of Eden. "I need someone to keep me company."
"No problem," replied God. "I'm going to create the
perfect mate for you, Adam. She will be beautiful,
intelligent, gracious and loving. She'll be a great cook
and a wonderful mother. She'll keep your home spotless,
and she'll never talk back. How does that sound?"
"Sounds great!" said Adam. "But what's she gonna
cost me?"
"An arm and a leg," God replied.
"Jeez, that's pretty steep, God," countered Adam.
"What can I get for just a rib?"
Well, that explains everything for the last 1.8 million years .... We could had gotten a mate that didn't talk back ....
