The
creation of Ohio
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
OHIO, the most glorious place on
earth.
There are beautiful lakes, rivers,
sunsets and rolling hills.
The people from OHIO 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 Michigan, Indiana,
Kentucky, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
