Joke of the Day

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 downwards
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and asked, "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. Over there I've places a
continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black
people. Balance in all good 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 area
and asked, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God, "that's Washington State, the most glorious place on
Earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes,
forrests, hills, and coulees. The people of Washington State are going
to be handsome, modest, intellegent and humerous, and they are going
to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable,
hardworking, 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 smiled, "There is another Washington. Wait until you see the
idiots I put there."
