EVE, the rest of the story (to paraphrase old Paul Harvey!)

[Carolynn]

After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to
visit Eve.
"So, how is everything going?" inquired God.
"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is
wonderful, but I have just one problem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes.
They are a real 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 that having only two breasts might leave her body more "symmetrically balanced," as she put it.
"That is a fair point," replied God, "But it was my
first shot at this,you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden. "Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "But for one oversight on your
part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a
ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except
me. I feel so alone." God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve,you are right how could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you.. Now let's see...
where did I put that useless boob?"
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than that stuff about the rib?

And now, the rest of the rest of the story!!

Here's the other part of the story:

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "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 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 aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad in the sack."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, well, you can have him on one condition," said God. "What's that, Lord?"

"Because of his tender ego, you'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
