A story from the Garden of Eden I heard the other day:

Eve was wandering around, talking to God. "I love the garden, the animals, the birds, the beautiful flowers, but sometimes I get lonely." God says, "I could make you a man, but I need to warn you, he'll be self centered, clumsy, smell bad sometimes and can be a real pain. But he will be able to open a pickle jar if you need him to." Eve thinks about it and says, "I think that will be OK". God gets busy forming some mud and says, "Oh by the way, he is going to need to think I created him first".
