One day Adam is talking to God, and he asks, "God, I've been wondering. Why did you make Eve so pretty?" God replies, "Because I wanted you to like her." Then Adam asks, "But why did you make her so stupid?" God answers, "Because I wanted her to like you."

Two of my grandsons were playing marbles when a pretty little girl walked by. "I'll tell you," said Jake to J.D., "when I stop hating girls, that's the one I'm going to stop hating first."

An economist dreamed that God came to his office. He did not know what to say, and suddenly he remembered that as a little boy, someone had told him that a thousand years was like a minute to the Lord. So he asked the Lord if that was true. The Lord said, "Yes, that's true." By this time, the economist had recovered his composure. He said, "Then perhaps it may also be true that what is a million dollars to us is only a penny to you." And the Lord said, "Yes, that's certainly true." So the economist said, "Well, Lord, how about giving me one of those pennies?" The Lord said, "Certainly. I don't happen to have it on me, but I'll go fetch it, if you'll wait a minute."

这个起句就点明骗子,圈套,显得太直白,犹如一杯清水,乏味了。
