Here is another Creation joke:
>On the Origin of Dogs and Cats...
>
>
>It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was
>discovered in the Dead Seal Scrolls. If authentic, it would shed light on
>the question, "Where do pets come from?"
>
>And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
>everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is
>difficult for me to remember how much you love me."
>
>And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be
>with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that
>you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how
>selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will
>accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."
>
>And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good
>animal. And God was pleased.
>
>And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And
>Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom
>and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new
>animal."
>
>And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a
>reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own
>name, and you will call him DOG."
>
>And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam
>was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
>
>After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord
>and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens
>like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
>taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."
>
>And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will
>be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will
>remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of
>adoration."
>
>And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam.
>
>And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the
>supreme being. And Adam learned humility.
>
>And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
>
>And Cat did not care one way or the other.
