Eve's side of the story
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came tovisit Eve. "So, how is everything going?" inquired God. "It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "Thesunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, thesights, everything is wonderful, but I have just oneproblem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I amconstantly knocking them with my arms, catching themon branches and snagging them on bushes. They are areal pain," reported Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs,such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. ... she felt thathaving only two breasts might leave her body more"symmetrically balanced," as she put it. "That is a fair point," replied God, "But it was myfirst shot at this, you know. I gave the animals sixbreasts, so I figured that you needed only half ofthose, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away." And God reached down, removed the middlebreast and tossed it into the bushes.Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve inthe Garden of Eden. "Well, Eve, how is my favoritecreation?" "Just fantastic," she replied, "But forone oversight on your part. You see, all the animalsare paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has herbull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone." God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, youare right. How could I have overlooked this? You doneed a mate and I will immediately create a man from apart of you. Now let's see ... where did I put the useless boob?"> > > Now doesn't THAT make more sense than that storyabout the rib?
