God had just created man, and He was pleased with what He saw.
"Go forth, and name the animals," commanded the Almighty.
"Name them what? I don’t have time to name your animals! I got to drink some beer, maybe watch the game!"
"Those things haven’t been invented yet," boomed the Lord.
"Shut up! Okay, okay, you win. That striped thingy’s a Heineken, that’s a Budweiser over there…"
"SILENCE!" commanded the Almighty. "Maybe I can make a helper for you, since you’re so incompetent."
"That’d be nice. What are you gonna make it out of?"
"Hmm…maybe that dangling thing between your legs…that doesn’t seem to have much of a purpose…"
"NO, LORD, DON’T! It’s my best friend! I’m going to have a lot of fun with it…"
"Oh, fine. How about your appendix?"
"APPENDIX? What the hell is an appendix?"
"Ah…never mind." And with that God put the man into a deep sleep and removed one of his ribs, since that was the best useless part of him. And he fashioned a woman out of the rib.
The man woke up, and upon seeing the woman, asked, "Can I get some of that?"
"Oh, shut up," she replied. The man stared at her and got hard. "Hey! Not bad! That’s pretty cool! God, I want one of those!"
"See, told you my friend was worth something, so NYAAH!" The man blew raspberries towards the Lord.
"QUIET!" demanded God. "The woman will not get one of those because they cause a lot of trouble. The only way she can get one is…"
"Tell me!"
"Find out for yourself, woman." The Almighty snickered. "And by the way, don’t eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge."
