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 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 while Southern Europe
is going to be poor;
the Middle East over there will
be a hot spot. Over there I've
placed a continent of white
people and over there is a
continent of black people,"
God continued, pointing to
different countries.
"This one will be extremely
hot and arid while this one
will be very cold and covered
in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by
God's work, then pointed to a
large landmass and asked,
"What's that one?" "Oregon,
the most glorious place on Earth.
There are beautiful lakes, rivers,
streams and exquisite mountains.
The people from Oregon are going
to be modest, intelligent and
humorous and they're going to be
found traveling the world.
They'll be extremely sociable,
hardworking and high achieving,
and they will be known throughout
the world as diplomats and carriers
of peace. They will be admired by
all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and
admiration but then proclaimed,
"What about balance, God? You said
there will be BALANCE!"
God nodded wisely, "Wait until you
see the loudmouth, whiny-butt,
arrogant crybabies I'm putting next
to them in California..."
