He was feeling rather bored. Suddenly God peeked down from a cloud and asked Adam how things were going.

Adam said, "Oh you know God, it's pretty good. But I do get a bit lonely at times."

God said, "Well, Adam, that's why I created dog for you, so you would have company."

Adam replied, "Yeah, I know, and dog is really good. He's my best friend and all, really, he's really cool. But you know, dog can't talk, and I don't think he understands everything I say!"

God then tells Adam that he understands and has actually been working on making a new friend for him. "It's something I've been working on for a few days now. It's called a woman."

That got Adam's interest. "A woman? Tell me more! What is a woman?" "Well," God said, "She will be a lot like you, she will look almost like you but be different."

"How?" Adam asks.

"Well, she will be a bit shorter than you, have bigger boobs, wider hips, long hair and a beautiful face."

"This sounds great, God!" Adam said, getting excited. "Tell me more about woman!"

"OK, she will also cook for you after you go hunting, she will clean the house, she will only talk when you want to talk and she will never say you are wrong. She will also have sex with you whenever you want to and will let you watch sports in peace and let you hang out with your friends as long as you want. She will also give you massage every night and bear as many children as you wish."

Adam is now really getting excited. "Oh man, God, this woman sounds great! Please hurry up and make woman for me!"

God then said, "Well, you know Adam, woman is not that easy to make. You were a lot easier. Woman is more complex and I've been having some problems, but I'm making progress. However, it would go a lot easier to make woman if I was able to use some things from you."

Adam looked perplexed. "What do you mean? Like what do you need from me to make woman?"

"Well, I could make woman for you by tomorrow if you give me and arm and a leg."

Adam stopped in his tracks and looked dismayed. "An arm and a leg? Geeze, God, that's a heavy price! I need both of my arms and legs for hunting and stuff!"

God sighed and said, "Yeah, I know Adam, but you know, you'll still be better off with woman even without an arm and a leg. Tell you what, why don't you think about it for a couple of days and then let me know what you want to do. OK?"

Adam agreed, and told God he would see him in a couple of days.

After a few days, Adam ran into God again and God asked him, "So Adam, you ready to give up an arm and a leg for woman?"

Adam scratched the back of his neck, looked up at God and said, "You know, God, I'm just not ready to part with an arm and a leg. But I've been thinking, what kind of woman would I get for just a rib?"
