Well, this is obviously the Adam and Eve deal from Genesis reworked to trap the unwary. If you look at the choices closely, there's no good answer. At least there's no answer other than "run away" that won't keep Jehovah from kicking your ass out of Eden. And who knows, if Adam had tried that one, we might still be in the same shape today anyhow. God's got a long sleeve and plenty of tricks up it.

Daniel said: "Next Question?" Do you have a problem with commitment? I do not mean to imply that you aren't faithful. -Aimee What, you mean the game is over? I thought there was a question #2. Besides, option (b) was "take the woman", not "keep the woman." Any honest man will tell you that revising the wording makes the question more difficult. Until you change the question, my attitudes toward commitment are irrelevant. Irrelevant, irrelevant, that word has a ring. Oh yeah, I remember, that's what she thought our commitment was when she decided to move out. wry smile What I should have said: "My dear, that's not irrelevant, it's a rhinocerous!" At least it couldn't have worked any worse, and it might have bought me a smile. -- Daniel === The Law Office of Daniel J.
