One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls
out to God, "Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.
"Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me
and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these
wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.
"Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all
this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am
lonely."
"Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution.
I shall create a 'woman' for you."
"What's a 'woman', Lord?"
"This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive,
caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will
be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before
you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she
will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her
beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will
unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will
be the perfect companion for you.", replies the heavenly
voice.
"Sounds great."
"She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."
"How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?", Adam
replies.
"She'll cost you a leg, an arm, an eye, an ear, and a
testicle."
Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam asks God, "Uh, what can I get for a rib?"
