My Epidemic

My little gnome professor narrated the story of Genesis the other day. It cracked me up. Considering it wasn't a religion class and we were discussing Christian tradition, I was basically the only person who knew the story as well as the Prof. So here was our discussion.

P: "So God created the earth and..." (He paused)
M: "And he saw that it was good."
P: "Then he created man and when he saw that Adam was alone he..." (Pause)
M: "Saw that it was not good."
P: "So what did he do next?"
Someother student: "He made Eve?"
P: "Nope."
M: "He made beasts for Adam."
P: "Good! And when he marched his menagerie of beasts in front of Adam, the man named and appreciated the animals but was still not happy. Adam was all like, 'Yeah, that's cool and all, I like the giraffe, but I'm not really into fleas...got anything else?' And God said, 'Seriously? Not even the elephant? You're not into that? A little extra cushion for the pushin'?' And Adam shook his head at God until the great Lord created Eve from the rib of his greatest creation!" He finished with a great flourish of his hands.
M: "Bwah?"
Someother student: "Did he just imply that God likes fat chicks?"
M: "Bwah?!"

There were no words for the expression on my face at that moment.
