If you're one of those people who constantly get forwarded jokes in your e-mail, you've probably already read this one. My customary habit is to delete without reading 9/10 of what arrives in my inbox.
However, this is perhaps one notch above the usual.

Eve & God
"God, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know that you created me and provided this beautiful
garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic
snake, but I'm just not happy."
"And why is that Eve?"
"God, 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."
"Man? What is that, God?"
"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat
and be vain; 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 when he is
aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way
that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel
in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too
smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised
eyebrows, "but what's the catch, God?"
"Well.....you can have him on one condition."
"And what's that God?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and
self-admiring.....so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first.
And it will have to be our little secret...you know, woman to woman.
