Okay, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and Light and Darkness, etc. Then He created Adam, the first man.

So, Adam was minding his own business in the Garden of Eden, when God approached him....

God: Adam, are you feeling lonely?

Adam: yes, a little, I guess.....

God: Well, I have created a companion for you.

Adam: Where is he?

God: No, it is not a man; it is a woman.

Adam: What is a woman?

And God explained what a woman was......

God: By the way, I want you to have children.

Adam: What is children?

And God explained what children were, and what you have to do to make children, etc.....

Adam: Okay, so where is she?

God: She is over there in that cave. Go there and stay a few days, and then come back.

And God waited.......and waited.......

Finally God could see Adam coming back.

God: So, how did it go?

Adam: What's a headache?

ha.

Madam, i'm Adam..... palindromically speaking.

If life gives you melons, you're probably dyslexic!

Makes a chess-playing husband reflect and readjust to companionship as opposed to obsession. Funny topic, though.

G_d created man, realized all the mistakes, then created an updated model.

Well, in Judaic mythology the first woman was Lilith, who turned out to be a she-demon of the night, and queen of the succubi.

Oh... no !

I never hear about that.

And is there this story in Bible too?

Then she was like my ex-wife.

It's very personal and sad story.

wahahahahaha!

"I realize that any man who talks to a machine has problems..."

It's obvious this person never worked in IT. The things I would sometimes call machines would melt my monitor if typed.

I never like playing my girlfriend. The choices are getting frustrated trying to play near her level to give her a good game or irritating her by beating her quickly. Frustration is generally prefered.

Etymology.

Chess widow.

Probably comes from golf widow.

The story is told in a dumb sports metaphor.

I don't like stories that appeal to the dumb masses.

What if the chess player is a philosopher?

Seeing that life is a chess game, of moves and counters. Poison and antidote. Venom and immunity. Claws and thick hides. Teeth and a turtle's shell.

Always in vein of "the dumb jock". Always the punch line.

Well the line is punching back.

To be continued.

American Football.

What is it? Why is it?

It is very ancient. It hearkens back to ancient warfare. This is what Greek warfare looked like. Phalanx. Throwing the football, javelin.

"The javelin hearkens back to the Peloponnesian Wars." I learned that in the movie Revenge of the Nerds.

American football is played in a Coliseum, named after . . . The Coliseum.

American football is time travel anthropology. It is not a dumb sport. It is a time machine into the past.

To be continued in part 3.

Part 3.

The most ancient story. Gilgamesh.

Enkidu. An Animal-Man. A Beast-Man if you will like in a He-Man action figure. A Tarzan of the Apes if you will.

After "consorting" with a "priestess" if you will (I' am using euphemisms, very euphemistic euphemisms). I quote from my memory, The Priestess told him, "Now you have thoughts of a Man."

Meaning he is now a Man, not an animal, not free like an animal.

When he went to drink with the animals as before, the animals ran away from him, because he is no longer one of them.

Football is like lions vs. gazelles vs. wilder beast vs. buffalo vs. hyenas vs. cheetahs, etc . . .

The football teams:

Lions

Bears

Dolphins

Ravens

Bengal Tigers

Colts

Jaguars

Broncos

Eagles

Panthers

Rams

Seahawks

All animals, all Enkidus. The Woman put "thoughts of a Man" into head head. Now he was to worry about a jay oh bee (job).

When you put "thoughts of Man" into a natural born being, something died inside. Enkidu did not know it at first. But he knew after he knew that he was not one of the animals.

Make a joke about about that wives and Enkidu, American Football.

Here is Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC Champion, when he was a kid, a real Enkidus, coming straight out of Mythology.

Make a joke about that.

Sports is a Man's connection with his animal past. Something that was wild and free, like animals, and strong.

And I don't have an athletic background. I can only lift 10 pounds in each hand.

But I know better.
