Transcript:
B.E. (Before Eve) When the world was an all-dude paradise... Adam: Ahh...sunset...we bid adieu to another *urp* perfect day... Rolf: *urp* yew betcha! Voice: *a-hem* Sitting around drinking beer and eating pizza is your idea of a perfect day? Adam: Um...yeah. Snake: Well, I think you can make it even better by making a change. Adam: Umm...better than perfect? How? Snake: With something I've invented called... ...investment banking! Adam: Oh...how does it work? Snake: It's way too complicated for you to understand. All you need to do is sign over your paradise assets and trust me to manage them for you! Rolf: Gotta admit, he'sright about change being a good thing...nachos and margaritas rock! Hey, and nice new boots, dude. What are they made from? Adam: Snake-skin. Snake: Ow...

Would t’were true. However, BOTH sexes listened to that snake, real or symbolic.
Bankerskin boots, however, do sound like a solid new fashion.

Now that’s an Adam I’d like to meet! His idea of “change” is terrific–and snakeskin boots aren’t so bad, either!

I have always wondered where he got the pizza and beer from?
Ok Wiley I get the serpent = banker angle and this must be before God made Eve for him…OH wait if God put Adam in a paradise there would be beer and pizza sorry.

Enjoy it while you can, guys, women is about to make an appearance and everything will change! Woe for men, that’s the etymology of the word!
kearleybe over 14 years ago
but, if no “females” had yet been created, then the snake was a male also…hum…male dominated world…and it still was getting mucked up…but then again, Adam looks like an average Joe…before common sense was replaced by common greed….

Shark skin boots need less care. Can’t go bull riding in snake skin…………..

Then God created SPAM and the world was never the same.

Not to put to fine a point on it Nabuquduriuzhur, but the man made a conscious choice to disobey.

How about some spammer-skin boots?
milano99 over 14 years ago
Nah, spammer-skin boots probably have too much lead in them. Or cadmium.

To tempt a woman, it took a supernatural evil entity of great power. To tempt a man, it took a woman.

This one doesn’t really work. Since there are no consequences for your actions. There is no need for temptation.
yyyguy over 14 years ago
when there are no consequences for your actions there IS no temptation, since temptation is being enticed to behave in a manner you know to be wrong.

The snake should have waited for Eve to come around. Investment banking is an attractive option only as a means of getting an Eve.

I forg ot the pure fiction here: that men needed to get drunk before they met women…
Joseph Krois over 14 years ago
Temptation averted by guile… Paradise extended a while… Faith in the “too good to be true”…. Has left the seller blue… And as a size 10 and a half shoe… But fear not for the future of man… As he will always do what he can… To bluff, bluster and deceive… Oh, and wait till he meets Eve…

I flagged and the first try went on an innocent party just after the spammer. I see no way to remove that- so VERY sorry!
vldazzle over 14 years ago
Sorry Shytimes, I hope my accidental flag does not cause you grief.
