OK, before you read this, anyone from Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, or
Canada, who does not have a sense of humor might want to pass this up.
Seems things like this get some of the too tight people upset. It is
clearly labeled OT. So, either pass it up, or keep quiet. If you just
HAVE to bitch about it, do so to the moderator, not me. Oh yeah, no
e-mails to me, I've been getting a few lately, but I've been polite, and
just discarded them without replying, but no guarantee that'll keep up.
.. The Creation of Michigan ...
=A0
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.
=A0
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" =A0
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downward
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made." =A0
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" =A0
"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." =A0
"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 here 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." =A0
The archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land
mass and said, "What's that one?"
=A0
"Ah," said God. "That's Michigan, the most glorious place on earth.
You'll notice that it is made in the fashion of my hand, the hand of
God. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills. The
people from Michigan are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous;
and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be
extremely sociable, hard working, and high achieving; and they will be
known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace." =A0
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed," What about
balance, God? You said there would be balance." =A0
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting around
them in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Canada.

An unkind remark is like a killing frost. No matter how much it warms
up later, the damage remains.
Well, the Golden Grill in Seney used to sell T-shirts with the outline of
the appropriate part of the state and the caption "God's area code is 906."
Them from "da mitten" are referred to as Trolls, living as they do below the
(Mackinaw) bridge.

Speaking as one who was raised in Michigan but now lives in Indiana because my
parents decided to move here while I was in high school... I love it!

In da beginning der was nothin.
Den on da first day God created da UP eh.
On da second day He created da partridge, da deer, da bear,
da fish, da ducks...
On da third day He said, "Let der be YOOPERS to roam da UP
eh".
On da fourth day He created da utter world down below, and on
da fifth day He said,"Let der be TROLLS to live in da world
down below.
On da sixth day he created da Big Bridge so da TROLLS would
have a way to get to da promised land.
God saw it was good eh, and on da seventh day He went deer
huntin!

I want to. BSEG. Larry
