CALL TO HEAVEN

An American decided to write a book about famous churches 
around the World.

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.


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 Japan.
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 China
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 traveled to
Pakistan, SriLanka, Russia, Germany and France.

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 up to India
to see if Indians had the same phone.

He arrived in India,
and again, in the first church he entered,
there was the same golden telephone,
but this time the sign under it read

"One Rupee per call."


The American was surprised
so he asked the priest about the sign. 

"Father, I've traveled all over world
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?"
