[CamRI] From Melissa but funny

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 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 here I've placed a continent of white people,
over there is a
continent of black people, and over there a continent
of yellow people,"
God continued, pointing to different areas "This
section 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 small land mass
and water and said, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God. "That's Rhode Island, small, but the
most glorious place on
earth. You'll notice that it is made in the fashion
of my hand, the Hand
of God. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets,
and rolling hills.
The people from Rhode Island are going to be modest,
intelligent, and
humorous and they are going to be found traveling the
world. They will be
extremely sociable, hard working 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
putting around them
in Connecticut and Massachusetts ."
