Zambian Independence Joke

Here is a Zambian joke going around the internet - whatsapp and blackberry.

---------------------

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven , the angels did not see God for six days. Eventually, St. Peter Happy independence!Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven , the angels did not see God for six days. Eventually, St. Peter came across Michael the archangel on the seventh day.

He inquired of God and Archangel Michael explained to him what God had been upto. He pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Peter. Look what God has made!"

Peter puzzled and said, "What is it?" 

"It's a planet," replied angel Michael, "and he has put Life on it. Hez going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." 

"Balance?" inquired Peter, still confused. 

Michael 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 there he has placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," 

He continued to explain pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." 

Angel Peter, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land in the southern part of Africa and said, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said Archangel Michael. "That's Zambia the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful savannas, mountains, streams, hills, and water falls.

The people from Zambia are going to be very handsome/beautiful, peaceful, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world holding good jobs. 

They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace, they'll play football and win boxing medals." Peter gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, Michael? You said there would be balance!!!" 

Michael replied wisely, "Wait until you see their kind of politicians."

Happy 48th Birthday, Zed - The Real Africa!!!
