For many millions of years, the crocodiles did live in the swamp of Eden, watching other lesser species come and go.
And then one day, man and woman turned up. Can you Adam and Eve it?
And Zorb spake unto them, saying, "What dost thou in mine swamp, pink puny person?"
And the pink puny person replied, saying "I'm a crocodile hunter."
And Zorb spake, saying, "You wouldn't like to try some fruit instead, would you?"
And man said "According to my God, fruit is bad for you, for it ferments into alcohol and robs man of his senses."
And Zorb said: "What senses? If your God is anything to go by, you prefer using your imagination to your senses anyway!"
And man spake, saying, "Well, I've made some scrumpy from the fruit of the tree of good and evil. Car to try some?"
And Zorb did quaff from the scrumpy of the fruit of the tree of good and evil. Mostly evil, by the taste of it.
And Zorb did get totally paralytic, and sing, and tempt the man, saying "Hey: Thish ish really good shtuff <hic>!"
And man did drink of it too, and woman, and this was a serious mistake because
they did thus beget loads more humans <ack,
spit>.
And thus it was. Do not believe the Bible about the tempter being a serpent - it was just a crocodile who got legless.
