God created Virginia

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 Virginia, the most glorious  place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes,  forests, hills, and plains. The people from Virginia 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. "Right next to Virginia is Washington, D.C.  ..... Wait till you see the idiots I put there" .....
