Gods Telephone

    An American decided to write a book about famous
    churches around the world. For his first chapter he decided to write
    about famous Irish cathedrals.

    So he bought a plane ticket and made the trip to
    Dublin, thinking that he would work his way around
    Ireland.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 Waterford. 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 Dublin 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 Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Mayo
    and in every church he saw the same golden telephone with the
    same "€10,000 per call" sign under it. With his first chapter going
    well, he left Mayo and traveled in to Galway, and again at his first stop at The Galway Cathedral, there was the same golden telephone, but
    this time the sign under it read
    "10c per call."

    The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
    "Father, I've travelled all over Ireland, and I've seen this same
    golden telephone in many cathedrals and churches. I'm told that it is a
    direct line to heaven, but in the rest of the country the price was €10,000
    per call. Why is it so cheap here?" The priest smiled
    and answered,

    "You're in Galway now my son......... it's a Local call".
