Title: 10,000 phone call
Post by: didds on Tuesday 21 October 2008, 11:30:41 am
An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. 

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to  Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA  from South to North. 

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall

with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'. 

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. 

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. 

The American thanked the priest and went along his way. 

Next stop was in  Atlanta. There, at a very large  cathedral , he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.   

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in  Orlando   and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. 

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God. 

'O.K., thank you,' said the American  . 

He then travelled all across America, Europe, England, Japan, New Zealand In every church he saw the same golden telephone  same

with a '$US10,000 per call' sign under it. 

The American, decided to travel to Australia to see if Australians had the same phone . 

He arrived at the Gold Coast , in Australia and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden

telephone, but this time the sign under i t read '40 cents per call.' 

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.  'Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden

telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them   price was $10,000 per call. 

Why is it so cheap here?' 
 

The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in  Australia  now, son - it's a local call'.
