AND GOD CREATED NEW JERSEY
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 area and
said, "What's that one?"
"That's New Jersey, the most glorious place on earth. There are
beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and
plains.
The people from New Jersey 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, "Not very far from New Jersey is Washington, DC. Wait till
you see the idiots I put there!"

:o)
That's told around here with West Virginia as the glorious place and Ohio as the counter-balance.
ReplyDeleteWell, West Virginia really IS pretty. I guess we are all love our home State! :o)
DeleteDon't mean to get off the subject but West Virginia is where the Great Mohave Rat was raised and lived before he became the Oracle of the Desert! I liked this story! Washington has enough idiots that's for sure! I"m back! come visit!
ReplyDeleteA lot of very famous people have come out of West Virginia, Mr. Rat - I guess the Oracle of the Desert is one, too! :o)
DeleteWestern Washington State has been referred to as "God's Country"...before it got so crowded, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see that part of the country! Furthest West I've ever been to is Texas. (which was so awfully HOT - couldn't wait to get back to Joisey!)
DeleteYeah, Texas is awfully hot...and they've got fire ants too!!!
ReplyDeleteNorth Central WA gets hot in summer, cold in winter...like the prairie lands do. It's completely different from the Puget Sound side west of the Cascade Mts. They're wet and green. We're dry and ...dry.
Didn't like it there - was near Houston - Hot and humid. Didn't see ants, but they had water bugs big enough to put a saddle on!
