So he bought a train ticket and took a trip to New York. 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 man, 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 man thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Michigan. 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 New York and He asked a nearby lady 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 man.
He then traveled to Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas and Kansas. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same “$10,000 Per call” sign under it.
The man, upon leaving Kansas decided to travel to Arkansas to see if the Arkies had the same phone.
He arrived in Arkansas, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read “One penny per call.”
The man was surprised so he asked the locals about the sign.
“Guys, I’ve traveled all over the U.S.A. and I’ve seen this same golden Telephone in many churches. I’m told that it is a direct line to Heaven, But in all the places the price was $10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?”….The men smiled and one answered,
“You’re in Arkansas now, Son – it’s a Local Call. This is God’s own country.”
