started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making
notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was
intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute." Seeking out
the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign.
The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to
heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. The man
thanked the pastor and continued on his way.
As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis,
Chicago, Milwaukee and all around the United States, he found more
phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Massachusetts.
Upon entering a church in Boston...........Behold - he saw the usual
golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: $0.35 cents."
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have been in
cities all across the country and in each church I have found this
golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and
that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000
a minute. Your sign reads only $0.35 cents a call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied:
"Son, you're in Boston, Massachusetts now, home of the Red Sox, the
Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and Boston College! You're in God's Country,
It's a local call."
My friend sent this to me. I thought it was hilarious and being in New England and a Red Sox fan, I thought I would share this. I hope you liked it. I assume you can change it to any city, if you decide to forward send it to friends.
(I like it the way it is lol)
