Pennsylvania Paradise!
Subject: Pennsylvania Paradise!
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 there I've placed a continent of white
people and over there is a continent of black people,"
God continued, pointing to different countries. "This
one 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 large land mass and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's PENNSYLVANIA, the most
glorious place on earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling
hills. The people from PENNSYLVANIA 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,
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 New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and
Ohio."
