God was 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 an island and said, "What’s that one?" "That's New Zealand, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and
plains. The people from New Zealand 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. The hunting is also good"

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance..."

God smiled, "Close to New Zealand is Australia. Wait till you see the idiots I put there. .....But I must say the hunting is very good!"

modest ay?

I could not help but pass on this from an old school friend all the way from India! I just added the hunting bits...

What are the bets for this Saturday?

My bet is that on this Saturday one million Kiwis will still be living and working in Australia!!

Thats how far we are prepared to go to help you poor buggers out.... Consider it community service.

Man, it takes just a million kiwis to teach 20 million Aussies to make pavlova, play rugby, drink beer and spell seeeex correctly as "sex"!

We wont talk about Phar lap, Clarrie Grimmett, Dame Kiri, Russell Crowe, and all the others.

The Aussies won this one! Must be the coach!

Lets see what happens this Saturday????

HA mate you can keep ole Russ.

It took just a few thousand British to teach you guys the same things, and wear clothes too.

As to the other comment above saying the million NZ are helping AUS out like 'community service'.
I object to that -I wouldn't say all NZer's have been charged through the court system yet. Maybe 75% or so but not all

"Charged through the court system"

And deported to a far off colony???

Transported I think you mean.

Deported is return to port of origin.

I guess those missing chromosomes relating to mastering basic English were left behind
