Here's a little joke my friend Josh sent me. One day Michael the Archangel, asked God: "What is that O Lord?" God replied: "That is a planet that I have created Michael, it shall be called 'Earth', a place of balance." "Balance?" asked Michael. "Yes", replied God. For example, one part of the world shall be rich, while the other shall be poor. Or take that lovely little country I created. It is called, 'Canada'. I have placed beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers & an exquisite coastline in this land. The people that live there are to be modest, intelligent & humourous. They'll be high achieving, sociable & to be known as carriers of peace. But that's not all. I have also given them super-powered ice hockey players that will be feared throughout this world." Michael gasped in wonder & admiration, but then asked: "But what about balance Lord?" God replied wisely: "Wait until you see the loud-mouthed bastards I put next to them!" O PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!! |
