When God Created Virginia

Loafer · 09-04-2013, 10:01 AM

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 educated people, and over there is a continent of simple gathering 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!"

Technically speaking, most of the idiots in DC are transient. They weren't born and raised there, the just got elected in and now we can't get rid of them. That being said, Virginia is a beautiful state from the mountains to the ocean, from the farms in the north to the country in the south.

I lived in Virginia Beach for a couple of years in the Navy. Couldnt believe the toll roads! A dime to get on, a dime to get off, a dollar here and there... They get you.
I was afraid of running out of change!

I'm a bit dyslexic, thought this thread was about something else.

I lived in Quantico for a couple of years and partied in DC. That was in the young foolish days. VA does have some nice country and DC use to be a rat hole especially around NW 14th Street area.
