Living in Canada

With apologies to our southern members but it is cute!

On his first day in Orlando, an American 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'.

Being intrigued he 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 traveled 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 up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone.

He arrived in Canada, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 cents per call.'

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled 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 Canada now, son - it's a local call'.

I like Canada, and all the folks that live there which I have met (well there were two exceptions, but really, there are always a couple of them anywhere, eh?).

Good joke, I may repeat it. Thanks !
