God blessed Texas

[Drac]

Ok, here goes -

An 'alternate' Creation story ....

In Heaven, God went '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 white people, and over there is a continent
of black 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 Texas , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains.
The people from Texas 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, "I will create Washington , D.C. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."

There's nothing wrong with insulting D.C. Especially if it's about the politicians! :mrgreen:

[Jock Scot]

You could always post it here and let us judge for ourselves.

[JiminDC]

We're used to it. If you can't ignore it around here, you don't last long. I just may not bother to respond if I don't find it funny.

[piperdbh]

I think you forgot to mention the He made Texas in a hurry, then took His time on North Carolina.


I'm working on them, Drac.

Could also apply to Scotland and London.

Texas - MODEST! Is this another of those occasions where the English and American languages have different meanings for the same word?

[DougC]

That's pretty much how we learned the story of creation in Sunday school down here...

Texas - MODEST! Is this another of those occasions where the English and American languages have different meanings for the same word?

I believe a Texan would say that modesty is to brag about only those things you absolutely know to be true, such as, "Texas is the best place on earth." This is a modest statement because it is, to a Texan, absolutely unquestionably true.

However, to a Texan, for a Floridian to say, "There are parts of Florida that are a lot nicer than West Texas," would be immodest because it is untrue.

I hope that clears things up for you.

[DougC]

I agree 100% pecent; its not immodest if what you say is true.
