  What's the problem, Eve?

  From Susan Hendrickson, on Monday, March 13, 2000.

  "Lord, I have a problem!"
  "What's the problem, Eve?"
  "Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
  "Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
  "Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."
  "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
  "What's a 'man,' Lord?"
  "This 'man' will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly aroused, but since you're complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your ah, physical needs. He'll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly.
  "Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. "What's the catch, Lord?"
  "Yeah, well.... you can have him on one condition.
  "What's that, Lord?"
  "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring... So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first... So, just remember...it's our secret...Woman-to-woman!"

  Sorry for being the grumpy Gus, but as funny as it may be, it's not very helpful, and is also very sexist (yes, it goes both ways, actually).

  But it's healthy to be able to laugh at oneself, so I guess I'll choose to do that.

  But hey - about man satisfying her physical needs? I thought you were doing better on your own in that area as well, from everything I've read and seen on TV? Not much left for us men to be good at.

  Socrates, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Newton, Nietzsche, Darwin, Wright brothers, Einstein, Ghandi, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins... they were/are all actually women? You learn something new every day.

  It's a joke! What's the matter? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? It is helpful if someone found a bit of humor in it, laughter is good for the soul. There is enough doom & gloom on the other threads. Lighten up.

  "Not much left for us men to be good at."-- I suggest a self esteem class, either that or get good at something.

  Have a laugh at this i got this E-mailed to me the ther day:

  
  WHY MEN DON'T WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS
  >
  Dear Walter:
  > I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for
  >work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't
  >gone more than a few hundred yards down the road when my engine conked
  >out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my
  >husband's help.
  > When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was parading
  >in front of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel
  >shoes, and he was wearing my make up.
  > I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve
  >years. When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he had dressed
  >in my lingerie because he couldn't find his own underwear. But when I
  >asked him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that he'd been
  >wearing my clothes for six months. I told him to stop or I would leave
  >him.
  > He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has
  >been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very
  >much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly
  >distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please
  >help?
  >
  > Sincerely,
  > Mrs. Sheila Lusk

  Dear Sheila:
  > A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be
  >caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that
  >there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee
  >clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of
  >these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump
  >itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float
  >chamber. I hope this helps.

  No, you are being a silly Goose. Intent man, intent. Im sure carla doesnt think men are stupid brutes. Even if she did, its still fun to laugh at the stereotypes involved in the joke.
