And God created the Midwest...
On the sixth day, God turned to Archangel Gabriel and
said, "Today I am going to create an area of land called The Midwest.
It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall hills and rolling plains full
of game and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass
and streams full of trout, forests full of deer and turkeys, valleys
with fertile soil with an abundance nutrients to grow things, and
rivers teaming with fish."
God continued, "I shall make the land rich in resources so
as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants
Midwesterners, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the
earth."
"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you are being
too generous to these Midwesterners??"
"Not really," replied God.. "Just wait and see the
winters I am going to give them!"
