Twas in the Garden of Eden and God called Adam aside for a man-to-man talk. "Look, Adam," he said. "You've bee loafing long enough. It's time you start to procreate." "What's that, Lord?" "I've given you all the instincts you need. Just take Eve by the hand, lead her top that clump of bushes over there, and you'll work it out." Well there was plenty of activity in the bushes but after a while Adam stuck out his head and said, "Lord, I've got a question." God shook his anthropomorphic head sadly and said, "Yes, Adam. What do you want to ask?" "Lord, what's a headache?"
I taught creative writing for a group of seniors for a few years and although there was a strong social aspect, most actually came there to write and maybe even learn.
But ONE guy was there to socialise and week after week he'd come up with a different excuse for why he hadn't done his exercise. He may have been a mediocre writer but, boy! was he ever creative.
