A joke that will even make capesams laugh!

[Karl F]

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six
days.
Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him resting on the seventh
day.
He inquires of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed
downward 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 great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of the 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," God continued, pointing to different
countries.

"This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold and
covered with ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land
mass with oceans as it borders and said, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God, "that's Cape Cod, the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful beaches, lakes, and climate. The water that is
surrounding the Cape keeps it pleasant in the summer, with cool
ocean breeze; while this same water keeps the winters mild. The ocean
provides an abundance of fresh seafood. The people from Cape Cod are going
to be
modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found
traveling
the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, and high
achieving
people, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and
carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then exclaimed, "What
about balance, God? You said there would be balance! Everyone and
everything seems so totally perfect in this place you call Cape
Cod!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm sending
there on vacation every summer!!!"
