Quite Amusing
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was
missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the
Archangel found him, resting on the seventh
day.He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly
pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look,Michael.
Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is
it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on
it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be
a great place of balance."
"Balance?" Inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of
earth."For example, northern Europe will be a place of
great opportunity and wealth but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be
poor but sunny and pleasant. "I have made some lands
abundant in water and other lands parched deserts.
This one will be extremely hot and while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then
pointed to a land mass and said "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's New Jersey -- the most
glorious place on earth.There are beautiful
beaches, streams, hills, and forests. The
people from New Jersey are going to be handsome,
modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going
to be found traveling the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and
high achieving, and they will be known throughout the
world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then
proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be
balance!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots
I put in Trenton."
