Default Direct Line to God !!!!

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 SCOTLAND to see if
SCOTS had the same phone.

He arrived in SCOTLAND, and again, in the first church he entered, there was
the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 pence 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 SCOTLAND now, son - it's
a local call".


MMM me thinks there may be a few who disagree on this one
