I didn't write this: Honest!
Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went 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 pointed downward through the
clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made!" "What is it?" asked Michael
looking confused. "Its a planet" replied God, "and I've put life on it, I
am going to call it Earth, and it is going to be a wonderful place of
balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael still confused.
God explained by pointing to different parts of the Earth - "For example,
Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while
Southern Europe is going to be poor; over there I have put 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, while
this one over there will be cold and covered in snow."
Michael was impressed by all of God's work, then he pointed to a large mass
in the top corner and asked "what is that?"
"Ah" said God, "That is Canada - the most glorious place on the Earth. There
are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline.
The people from Canada will be modest, intellegent, and humorous and they
will be found travelling over the world. They'll be extremely sociable,
hard-working and high-acheiving, and they will be known throughout the world
as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human,
undefeatable hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who
encounter them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then exclaimed "What about
balance God? You said there was going to be balance!"
God smiled wisely and said "Just wait until you see the loud mouth bastards
that I am putting beside them"
