I found this on the POLIO list and thought some of your might enjoy it.

Creation Duel

In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth. And the
Earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face
of the deep.  And the Devil said, "It doesn't get any better than
this."

And God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. And God
said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit," and God saw that it was good.
And the Devil said, "There goes the neighborhood."

And God said, "Let us make Man in our image, after our likeness,
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and
over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth." And so
God created Man in his own image; male and female did He create.

And God looked upon Man and Woman and saw that they were lean and
fit.

And the Devil said, "I know how I can get back in this game."

And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and
spinach, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.

And the Devil created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth
the 79-cent double cheeseburger. And the Devil said to Man: "You
want fries with that?"  And Man said: "Supersize them." And Man
gained 5 pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her
figure that man found so fair. And the Devil brought forth
chocolate. And Woman gained 5 pounds.

And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad."

And the Devil brought forth Ben and Jerry's. And Woman gained 10
pounds.

And God said, "I have sent thee heart-healthy vegetables and
olive oil with which to cook them."

And the Devil brought forth chicken-fried steak so big it needed
its own platter. And Man gained 10 pounds and his bad cholesterol
went through the roof.

And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose
those extra pounds.

And the Devil brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man
would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2.
And Man gained another 20 pounds.

And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil."

And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in
fat and brimming with nutrition.

And the Devil peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the
starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And the Devil
created sour cream dip.

And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips
swaddled in cholesterol. And the Devil saw and said, "It is
good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And the Devil canceled Man's health insurance.

Then God showed Woman how to peel the skin off chicken and cook
the nourishing whole grain brown rice.

And the Devil created light beer so Man could poison his body
with alcohol while feeling righteous because he had to drink
twice as much of the now-insipid brew to get the same buzz. And
Man gained another ten pounds.

And God created the life-giving tofu.

And Woman ventured forth into the land of Godiva Chocolate and
upon returning asked Man: "Do I look fat?"

And the Devil said, "Always tell the truth." And Man did.

And Woman went out from the presence of man and dwelt in the land
of the divorce lawyer, east of the marriage counselor.
