THE CREATION OF NORTH DAKOTA   

  THE CREATION OF NORTH DAKOTA
    
    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.
    
    And over there I've placed a continent of white
    people, while over here 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 North Dakota, the most
    glorious place on earth.
    
    There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and
    rolling hills. The people from 
    North Dakota 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 proclaimed, "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 Montana, Minnesota and South
    Dakota."
