EDEN — A marital spat arose today in the Garden of Eden as Adam reported that his wife Eve had to try on 23 different fig leaves before selecting an outfit for their dinner date.

"She has an entire closet full of fig leaves, and still she can't figure out anything to wear," Adam noted. "This is taking forever! Me, I just tie the first leaf I found around my waist, and I'm ready to go. Why are women so complicated?"

"It's not my fault," Eve replied defensively while selecting another leaf to try on. "Most of these leaves are from the summer collection, but I'm obviously an autumn. I want to make sure I'm looking my best in case we run into someone we know."

"We're literally the only two people on earth… who the heck are we going to run into?" Adam asked with exasperation. "Say, here's an idea, why don't we ditch the leaves and just go naked?"

"Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you, pervert!" Eve snapped back. "You're always trying to get me to take my leaves off. Well, I've got news for you, I'm just not that kind of girl."

At publishing time, the couple was finally headed out to dinner after Eve decided to go with the first leaf she tried on after all.
