If you live in the "Sunshine State" you probably won't think this is funny at all! <ggg>
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 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 land mass and said, "What's that one?"
“Ah," said God. "That's Florida, the most glorious
place on earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers,
streams and climate. The people from Florida are
going to be 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'm
sending them from up North every winter. This will
test their faith annually!" |
