The angel came back and reported her findings to God. "I'd call it 80-20," she said. "Only about 20% of the people are good. The rest of the 80% are bad, rotten eggs."
God was surprised by this, so he called another angel to him. "Yes, God?" he asked. "Please go down to earth and see if you can verify what this angel told me," God said. So the second angel went down to earth.
The second angel returned after a short time. "God, I found that 20% of the people were good. The other 80% were corrupt, disagreeable, wicked, vile, and all around despicable. If you'll excuse me, I feel the need to go wash my hands."
God excused the angel and sat, thinking. He was quite upset that so many people were evil and so few people were good. He thought for a long time, and decided that rather than punishing the bad people, he would send an encouraging email to all of the good people in hopes that they would read it and decide to spread decency across the world.
And do you know what that email said?
(Really, I'd like to know what it said. You didn't get one either?)
