From "Dear Abby":

	... Abby, you quote Scripture from time to time, so I would have
	thought you would remember Genesis 2:21-22:  "And the Lord caused
	a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of
	his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead there of.  And the rib,
	which the Lord God had taken from man, he made a woman, and brought
	her unto the man."

	    Women have one more rib than men.

                                    FUNDAMENTALIST

	    DEAR FUNDAMENTALIST:  With all due respect to the Old Testament,
	he who seeks the knowledge of the number of ribs hath man and woman had
	best look upon the X-rays of both.  Then let him go forth and compareth.




I will say no more.
