A man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches around
the
country. He started by flying to
San Francisco, and started working east from there. Going to a very
large
church, he began taking photographs and making notes.
He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall, and was intrigued
with
a sign which read, “$10,000 per minute.”
Seeking out the pastor, he asked about the phone and the sign. The
pastor
answered that the golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven, and
if
he pays the price, he can talk directly to God. The man thanked the
pastor
and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle,
Denver, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, and around the United States, he
found more such phones, with the same sign, and the same explanation
from
each pastor.
Finally, the man arrived in the lovely state of Alabama. Upon entering a
church, behold: he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the
sign
read: “Calls: 25 cents”!
Fascinated, the man asked to speak with the pastor. “Reverend, I have
been
in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this
golden
telephone, and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven, and that I
could use it to talk to God. But in 20 other churches, the cost was
$10,000
per minute. Your sign says 25 cents per call. Why is that?
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied: “Son, you’re in the South now,
and
it’s a local call.”
Marcus says:
Amen, sister! That is awesome.

Actually this is a re-hashing of a joke about the Pope and a rabbi. The rabbi visits the Pope in Rome and the call on the heavenly phone is $100,000. Then the Pope visits the rabbi in Jerusalem where the call is only a dime, it’s a local call. I think that all bible believers would appreciate this version. The joke is amusing in any version though.
