[SIZE=+3]His first day in Orlando, an American 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'.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Being intrigued he asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]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. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw inOrlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]She told him that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]'O.K., thank you,' said the American . [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]He then traveled to [/SIZE][SIZE=+3]Indianapolis, Washington DC , Philadelphia , Boston and New York. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]He arrived in Canada, 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.' [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled all over A merica 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?'[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in [/SIZE][SIZE=+3]Canada now, son - it's a local call'.[/SIZE]
