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 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 on his way
Next stop was in Atlanta. There at a very large cathedral he saw the same
looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was
the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and asked
a nearby nun what its purpose was
She told him it was a direct line to Heaven and for $10,000
he could talk to God. O.K, thank you said the man
He then travelled all across America, Europe, England, Japan
Australia, in every church he saw the same looking golden telephone
with the same $US10,000 per call sign under it
He then travelled to New Zealand to see if New Zealand'ers
had the same phone. He arrived in Auckland in New Zealand and again
at the first church he entered there was the same looking 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 travelled all over the world 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 other places the price was $10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered 'You're in
New Zealand now, son. this is Heaven, so it's a local call'.

A friend sent me this ditty about Heaven! I live in New Zealand so
think it's true. The photos - to 'prove' it - are from Craig Potten,
in my opinion one of New Zealand's best nature photographers.
Look online to find and buy these stunning posters.
