The Creation of the Jersey Shore

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, Europe
will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Africa 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 large land mass with
an ocean as it border and said, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God, "that's the Jersey Shore, the most glorious place on earth.
There are beautiful beaches, rivers, lakes, and climate. The people from the
Jersey Shore 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 the Jersey Shore"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the assholes I'm sending down from New
York every summer."

How true, How True.

Been there many times and have to agree. Not from the shore but used to go there all the time and visit relatives.

Asbury Park and Point Pleasant. No big "Deal".
