A English man a French man and a Irish man all die and go to hell. While there they notice a red telephone and ask the devil what it's for. The devil tells them it's to call earth.

The English man asks him if he can call London for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil tells him the cost is a million dollars, so the English man writes him a check.

Next, the French man calls Paris and talks for 30 minutes. When he is finished the devil tells him that the cost is 6 million dollars, and he writes him a check.

Finally, the Irish man gets his turn, calls Dublin and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil tells him the cost is $5.00.

The other 2 go ballistic and ask why their calls were so expensive. The devil smiles and says "Since Micheál Martin took office Ireland has gone to hell so its a local call"

This joke should have put a smile on your face and maybe have you chuckling. If it doesn't we know where your loyalties lie.

The funniest part. In fact the only mildly curious part of the story is that despite the protagonists in the story being English, French and Irish. The dollar is in use in hell.

Well, it's either that or it's a weak joke. I think it's the latter. Seems like the sort of thing that gets copied and pasted from places like Reddit.

A mate of mine used to own a pub in the Czech Republic. Me, a Scottish friend of mine and an English friend of mine go in and order 3 pints. He says straight back "You three walk into this pub? This has to be the start of a joke"
