This is one of my favorites:
>>>
Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so
God
asked him, "What is wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that he was going to make Adam a companion and that it
would
be a woman. He said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for
you, when you discover clothing, she'll wash it for you. She will
always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your
children
and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of
them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she
was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a
headache, and will freely give you love and passion whenever you
need
it."
Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"
The rest is history.
And I (HCook) would add: This just is not very funny if you think
about what it says about women (IMHO). So I would suggest,
instead:
Eve is talking to Adam: "Will you always love me?!"
Adam replies: "Who else is there?!"
