    God: Adam, there's something we need to talk about.

    Adam: Sure, what's up?

    God:
    It's about sex.

    Adam:
    Oh sex! I meant to thank you for that. Great invention. Use it all the time. In your top five, for sure.

    God:
    I'm actually not talking about sex with Eve - I'm talking about sex with someone like yourself.

    Adam: Ah, that? Sorry, sometimes I'm alone, or Eve's not in themood, and I have to make do. In fact, since you removed that rib, I canalmost reach it with my mo-

    God: No! No, I'm not talking about that. I meant about sex with another one of my creations, who I also made as a male.

    Adam:
    Who? The snake? The angel with the flaming sword? Because youalready told me the animals were a no fly zone, and I'm not even surethe winged dude is into that kind of thing.

    I spot Tracey Sommers across the room. We lock eyes and approach each other, probably in slo-mo.
    I spot Tracey Sommers across the room. I yell her named loudly to get her attention. My voice cracks.
    Tracey: Hey Brian! Good to see you!
    Tracey: Hey... Brett? Did I invite you?
    Me: You too. Sorry I'm late.
    Me: You did not. I found an invite in the trash.
    Tracey: I still can't believe you got Third Eye Blind to play my party.
    Tracey: Weren't you the guy who said he could get Third Eye Blind to play my party?
    Me: Yeah, they're old friends of my uncle. Excuse me for one second.
    Me: Yeah, my uncle is a lying sack of shit. Excuse me for one second.
    I go onstage to play lead guitar for "Jumper". I finish with a sweet guitar solo and flawless back-flip.
    I feel sick and try to casually walk away. I trip over Tracey's glass coffee table, destroying it and her stereo.
    Tracey: That was amazing!
    Tracey: That- that looked really painful.
    Me: It's nothing. Just something I picked up during the six weeks of guitar lessons I got for my 17th birthday.
    Me: I think I need to go to the hospital.
    Tom, Tracey's ex-boyfriend, enters.
    Tom, Tracey's boyfriend, enters.
    Tom: Oh man, I'm sorry I made that up horrible nickname for you. You're actually a pretty cool guy.
    Tom: Oh man, period-face totally ate it.
    Tracey: Agreed. Also, since all your acne cleared up last week, you look a lot like that guy from Dawson's Creek.
    Tracey: Shit, the cops are here.
    "Semi-Charmed Kind Life" plays in the background. Tracey and I make out, with tongue.
    The destroyed stereo plays nothing. Tracey and Tom flee the premises.
    Tracey: Let's have lots of no-strings-attached sex before we leave for college.
    ER Doctor: You're spending the summer indoors.
