A Joke For The Canuckleheads...

Finally a joke that explains what it's like to be Canadian...

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went 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 place of great 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 Gods work, then pointed to a large landmass in

the top corner and asked, "What's that one?" "Ah," said God. "That's

Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains,

lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada

are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be

found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and

high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and

carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice

hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; "What about

balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!" God replied wisely. "Wait

until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next to them...."
