More From William Ralph Inge

The gods were bored and so they created man. adam was bored because he was alone, so eve was created. thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. adam was bored alone, then adam and eve were bored together; them adam and eve and cain and abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.
Men People Boredom
Adam and eve - and especially eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. eve is not secondary. eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story. she's the first independent woman. for me, rediscovering that eve was the greatest bad**s women of all time was a revelation.
Character Independent World
So where does the name adam's apple come from? most people say that it is from the notion that this bump was caused by the forbidden fruit getting stuck in the throat of adam in the garden of eden. there is a problem with this theory because some hebrew scholars believe that the forbidden fruit was the pomegranate. the koran claims that the forbidden fruit was a banana. so take your pick---adam's apple, adam's pomegranate, adam's banana. eve clearly chewed before swallowing.
Believe Garden Names
I've learned a lot about women. i think i've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the garden of eden. adam and eve were in the garden of eden, and adam said one day, wow, eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with god, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. and eve said, yeah... it's just not enough is it?
Dream Fall Men
My name is adam. my father's name is adam. having the same name as your father, it's alright until your voice changes. my friends would always call up, 'is adam there?' my father would say, 'this is adam.' my friends would say, 'adam, you were so wasted last night.'
Father Drinking Night
If adam and eve were not hunter-gatherers, then they were certainly gatherers. but, then, consumer desire, or self-embitterment, or the 'itch,' as schopenhauer called it, appeared in the shape of the serpent. this capitalistic monster awakens in adam and eve the possibility that things could be better. instantly, they are cast out of the garden and condemned to a life of toil, drudgery, and pain. wants supplanted needs, and things have been going downhill ever since.

Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; one pain is less'ned by another's anguish; turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning; one desperate grief cures with another's languish.
