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".
