Adam came home after a hard day of plowing. Adam had the largest farm in the world. It was the world. The lower forty didn't mean much to him. He still was upset over being tossed out of the Garden. God didn't give him much time to prepare. Who knew the animals would turn on you like that? One day you're petting the lion; the next he's chewing on your hand.

As Adam sat there waiting for Eve to put supper on the table he noticed something about her. She's was getting plump. Adam worked too hard to get fat but Eve, to be honest, didn't do anything. Adam felt he should say something. This from the guy who felt he had to eat that apple.

"Eve, honey, you seem to be putting on a few pounds. I think-"

Wow! That was close. Just missed his head by an inch. Guess he won't mention her weight again. She kept getting bigger and bigger. She stuck out so far in front she had trouble keeping her balance.

One night Adam was awakened by Eve screaming. Cripes, not another tiger to fight. No, there was no tiger, just Eve screaming.

"Honeybunch, what is it?", Adam asked.

"I hurt. I've never-OHHH!!!!-hurt this bad before", she told him.

"Eve, you're making a mess on the floor. I built a perfectly good outhouse and-"

Again she missed. Adam was getting good at ducking. Then he got the second shock of his life. There, lying on the floor, was some living thing. It was all red, slimy, crying and had a string attached to it that led to Eve's-. What the -. Well, Adam thought, I'll just cut this string right off.

"Adam, I think it's one of us", Eve said.

"Us? How'd that happen?"

"I don't know", Eve replied. "I don't think it was from peeing so it must have been from-. Well, if this is the consequence you 're staying away from me".

"I guess we have to keep it. What do you mean stay away from you? What do we call it?"

"I don't know. What do you want to call it?" Eve asked.

"How about Able".

"Abel? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Huh? What's Adam mean? What's Eve mean? I meant A-B-L-E as in able to help me around here since you won't get off your fat behind-"

Bong! Eve's aim was getting better.
