Golden Phone

country. He started by flying to San Francisco, and started working east from
there.
He went to a very large church and began taking photographs, etc.
He spots a golden telephone on a wall and is intrigued with a sign which
reads "$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the pastor he asks about the phone and
the sign. The pastor answers that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct
line to Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
He thanks the pastor and continues on his way.
As he continues to visit churches in Seattle, Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago,
Milwaukee, and around the United States, he finds more phones, with the same
sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrives in Michigan. Upon entering a church in Muskegon Heights,
Michigan, behold, he sees the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign
reads, "Calls: 25 cents."
Fascinated, he requests to talk to 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
talk to God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your
sign reads 25 cents a call. Why?"
(I just love this part------)
The pastor, smiling benignly, replies, "Son, you're in Michigan now, and it's
a local call."
