I received this story in my email and simply had to share it with you. Sorry, but I have no idea who the original author is. I would give them credit if I could.
EVE'S SIDE OF THE STORY
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. “So, how is everything going?” inquired God.
“It is all so beautiful, God,” she replied. “The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. The smells, the sights, everything is wonderful. But I have just one problem...
“It's these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out, and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain.”
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her arms, legs, eyes and ears; she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically balanced'.
“That's a fair point,” replied God, “But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, and I figured that you needed at least half that number. However, I see that you are correct about three breasts being a problem. I will fix that up right away.“
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
“Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?”
“Just fantastic,” she replied, “But for one oversight. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has her ram, the cow has her bull and the goose has her gander. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.”
God thought for a moment and said, “You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Let's see....where did I put that useless boob ?”
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than the rib story?
