>Note: Like most modern jokes, this rather funny story can be modified so

>One day a group of scientists got together and decided that

>The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided

>just go on and get lost."

>God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after

>which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"

>God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back
>in the old days with Adam." The scientist said, "Sure, no
>problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of
>dirt.

>God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get
