Swell fable...

Apparently, the fable(of all fables!) goes thus:

God created man, but was soon disillusioned with his creation and
swore... rather, exclaimed "Ah, Damn".
The poor man asked "What" and God quickly composed himself and said "Yeah, Ah-Damn..er.. Adam is your name."

God was still giving finishing touches to man and had a rib left, not
knowing what to do with it.
By now, Adam was fidgeting and wanted to get away from God.
So Adam cried out "I wanna leave."

God heard it as "eve" instead of "leave" (This is b'cos God, like any boss, has no record being a good listener.)

Quickly latching onto the idea, God created Eve out of the rib, and
cautioned Adam, "But, I want you together always" (meaning he wanted
both Adam and Eve to be "together" at all times).

Adam replied "No, problem".

And since then, Adam's biggest mission has been "to-get-her" !!!!!

I like this little snippet and am sure I'm going to quote it very often going forward (Thanks to you!). I wonder though, when God created Adam and made him physically stronger and intelligent and endowed him with all the "good things", why didn't he shower upon man, the ability to understand all the idiosyncrasies of his dual(Eve). If there were a second revision of the "Adam Design" I would say God should make the upgrade by making Adam powerful enough to read Eve's thoughts at any point of time. I would love to be in the role of Mel Gibson in "What Women Want". Wouldn't that be something desirable?
