Balance

Just received this from a friend who always claims that he is soooooo busy with his work.

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him on the seventh day, resting. 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 have made." Said God. 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, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while South Americas going to be poor. The Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold 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 this one extremely cold, and this one covered in ice."

Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small land mass and said, "What's that one?" "Ah…," said God. "That's Malaysia, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and hills. The people from Malaysia 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." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be BALANCE! So if Malaysians are going to be that great, you must've created some really corny people to balance them.

God replied wisely, “ Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting right next to them. They're called Singaporeans!!”

My sincere apologies to Singaporeans. Its just a joke.

Nice one. I thought at first it's an excerpt from the bible but then goes the humorous part. Actually, as said we are all created equal in the eyes of God.
