From The Mommybot

"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 Washington State , the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes,
forests, hills, and plains.  The people from Washington State 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
software."

               Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then
asked, "But what about balance, God?  You said there would be
balance."

               God smiled, "There's another Washington. Wait till you
see the idiots I put there.""
