Balance

[Trukrswyfe]

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.

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, humorous and they are going
to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable,
hardworking, high achieving and they will be known
throughout the world as diplomats, 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 is another Washington . Wait till
you see the idiots I put there."
