Sonewhere I saw an anecdote attributed to Sir Conan Doyle, about Adam in Heaven being reclusive, and hiding to avoid newcomers. God asked: "Where's Adam?" Sir Conan Doyle darted into a crowd and brought out sheepish Adam. God asked: "How did you know he was Adam?"
Sir Conan Doyle smugly replied: " No navel."

Adam was the luckiest of men: he had no mother-in-law.

Adam was the unluckiest of men. He had no mother.

You know why God made Eve, don't you? After He made Adam, He thought, "I can do better than that!"

Adam and Eve just prove that this god of yours had a really rotten sense of humor!

WARNING: SELF-YART
Reminds me of a joke.
God pays a visit, routine check-up, on Adam. God says"How's everything with you. Happy here?" Adam says,"Great place. I particularly like what you did with the garden here, but I only have one teeny complaint. I have noticed that all the animals here have mates. Will I be given one?" God slaps his forehead and says"D'oh! I forgot all about that! I'll tell you what. How would you like a beautiful woman, curved just right, one that will obey your every wish and take care of all your needs before you even know you have them." Adam says"Gee, that sounds great. What's the catch?" God says, "Well, it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg." Adam thinks about it for awhile and says"What can I get for a rib?"(bah-dum-dum)

I have often thought that it is mildly blasphenous to blame human frailty on God. Obviously, though,He could have made us less error prone. After all,He has infinite power.

If one gets liposuction on the tummy does it create a midrift?
