An annoyed employee asks Dr Mythos:
>Can anyone out there explain just what the heck this
>male-person thing of making noises at a lone female Means?

Dr Mythos responds:
In the beginning, when gods created eves
and adams, they were perfectly matched in
every way: one eve to an adam, one adam to
an eve. They were each whole and symmetric,
and differed only in genitals.
|
|
| |
The gods created snakes too, one for
each eve/adam, knowing full well
the inevitable rupture...
|
|
The snakes whispered two lies, daintily,
in eves' ears: one, "adams have one more
rib than you"; two, "the extra rib is the
rib of knowledge of good and evil. if
you pull it out and eat it, you will
possess the mind of gods."
|
|
| |
So late one night, the eves conspired
to ply their adams with vast quantities
of alcohol; then, in one stroke, cut
the ribs from the adams and ate them.
The adams were in great pain (though
dulled by drink), and were able only to
moan loudly in a sort of forced exhalation
through their teeth.
|
So now you know what the noises mean.
They mean: "You are a descendant of the eve
who ate my ancestor adam's rib.
I would greatly appreciate your consideration
in not doing the same."
