God was just about done creating humans, but he had two parts left over. He couldn’t decide how to split them between Adam and Eve so he thought he might just as well ask them.
He told them that one of the things he had left was a thingy that would allow the owner to pee while standing up
‘It’s a very handy thing’ God told them ‘and I was wondering if either of you had a preference for it’.
Well Adam jumped up and down and begged ‘Oh please give that to me. I would love to be able to do that. It seems like just the sort of thing a man should have. Please! Pleeease! Give it to me.’ On and on he went like an excited little boy.
Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted the thingy so badly he should have it. So God gave Adam the thingy that allowed him to pee while standing up.
Adam was so excited he just started whizzing everywhere – first on the side of a rock, then he wrote his name in the sand, then he tried to see if he could hit a stump ten feet away – laughing with delight the whole time.
God and Eve watched him with amusement and then God said to Eve ‘Well, I suppose you are stuck with the last thing I have left’. ‘What’s it called?’ asked Eve.
‘Brains’ replied God.
