G;day All,
Even da ranger will like this one!!!!
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 to Indianapolis, Washington DC, Philadelphia,Boston and
New York. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same
"$10,000 per call" sign under it. The American, upon leaving Vermont decided
to travel to AUSTRALIA to see if Australians had the same phone.
He arrived in Australia, and again, in the first church he entered, there
was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40
cents per call."
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father,
I've travelled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in
many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US
the 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".
KEEP SMILING...........Rob
