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 downward
through the clouds. "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?" said Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example,
Western Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while
Eastern 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 areas. "This one will be extremely hot and arid, while
this one will be very cold and covered with ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a beautiful
land in the center of a large mass. "What is that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That is Nebraska, the most glorious place on earth.
There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and prairie. The people
from Nebraska 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. I'm also
going to give them a superhuman football team, "the Huskers," which
will be admired and feared by all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed, "What
about BALANCE, God? Didn't you say there would be BALANCE?" God
replied wisely, "Wait until you see the loud-mouthed morons I put
next to them. I call it Colorado.
ouch
I'm from Colorado, and that was insulting!
