Smacking people with trout
There's nothing like a hypothetical question to jumpstart the imagination, is there not?
I would suppose this trout would be dead, and not just large but rather putrid? I think I would have to bestow the honor upon the first woman in the Christian Bible...Eve.
Honestly, how dense can a human get? Perhaps my overwhelming sense of curiosity is not so overwhelming as it used to be, or perhaps I've never been confronted by the Christian Devil, but to completely ruin the lives of all the people I'm supposed to parent seems a little over the top, even when indulging in curiosity. I'd probably a little less inclined to swing the trout if men didn't have to deal with the risk of withdrawing a bloody stump where a hand used to be when approaching a PMSing woman; if the story were taken literally.
It sort of makes me wonder if the 'listen to your parents, they know what they're talking about' mentality stemmed from this, as she was told not to eat from that particular tree.
Food for thought.
