The subject is a slight exaggeration. Anyway we all know the first
apple tree
was in the Garden of Eden.

No we don't. The tree was of the knowledge of good and evil. No
mention
is made in Genesis about an apple tree. It's tradition that holds that
it was an apple tree. Equally tradition holds that it was passion
fruit!

More likely yo have been a pomegranate, IMO. ;-)

In a former life or what?

Very former if it was Biblical! I think the pomegranate because it
has always been an artistic symbol of fecundity and after they ate the
fruit of the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve lost their innocence. ;-)

Eve was always losing things, she misplaced a rib before that.

How Adam got Eve - nothing like a good bible story to make your day!

Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely.
So, God asked him "what's wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion, and that it would be a
woman.
He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you,
and when you discover clothing, she will wash them for you."
"She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag
you, and will always be the first to admit that she was wrong when you have
had a disagreement. She will praise you!!"
"She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of
the night to take care of them."
"She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion
whenever you need it."
Adam asked God "What will a woman like this cost?"
"An arm and a leg!"
Then Adam asked "What can I get for a RIB?"
And of course the rest is history.......

I just wonder why Adam wanted a Rigid Inflatable Boat. ;-))
