The Golden Phone
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 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".
