In the beginning
In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated
the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red
vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy
lives
2. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream
and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And
Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some
sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.
3. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure
that Man found so fair.
4. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the
cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.
5. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad."
6. And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and
garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the
repast.
7. God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil
in which to cook them."
8. And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big
it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went
through the roof.
9. God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake,"
and said, "It is good."
10. Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."
11. God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds.
12. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.
13. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.
14. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.
15. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.
16. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger.
Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes!
And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into
cardiac arrest.
17. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
18. Then Satan created HMOs.
Thought for the day. There is more money being spent on breast implants
and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there
should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections
and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
