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".
