God and His humor

"God was missing for six days. Eventually,
Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh
day. He inquired, 'Where have you been?' God smiled deeply 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 place
to test Balance.' 'Balance?' inquired Michael, 'I'm 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. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over
there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things.' God continued
pointing to different countries. 'This one will be extremely hot, while this
one will be very cold and covered in ice.' The Archangel , impressed by God's
work, then pointed to a land and said, 'What's that one?' 'That's Louisiana ,
the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful rivers and streams,
lakes, forests, hills. Some of the most beautiful women live there. The people
from Louisiana are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and
they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable,
hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things.'
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, 'But what about
balance, God? You said there would be balance.' God smiled, 'I will create
Washington , DC . Wait till you see the idiots I put there"
