I was sitting on the john and there it came to me: the ultimate evidence that evolution doesn't exist. No more need for apologetics texts now! It goes something like this:

• Humans and prunes have existed for many, many years.
• Humans have eaten prunes for a very long time.
• Prunes, in most people, have ill effect on the digestive system.
• When crapping, it is hard to do other things; the taste for prunes is counterproductive and therefore undesirable.
• Evolution would have it that the taste for prunes be weaned.
• I like eating prunes and so do many other people.
• The taste for prunes has not been weeded out.
• Evolution does not exist.

This all started because the Kohl's Food Emporium across the street from my apartment was closing. During its "Everything 50% off!" liquidation sale, I bought a bag of bite-sized prunes. For breakfast, I had a very tasty bowl of Rice Krispies and prunes. I have not been well since but am proud to report a very clean digestive tract.

Disclaimer: The logic behind this argument was formulated when I was very tired, another unanticipated effect of the ingestion of prunes--or more appropriately, an effect of the untimely egestion of prunes. I guess my little piece on evolution isn't the incontrovertible proof I thought it was.
