[GCFL-discuss] Local Call

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

While on vacation in Rome, I noticed a marble column in St. Peter's with
a golden
telephone on it.  As a young priest passed by, I asked who the telephone
was for.  
The priest told me it was a direct line to heaven, and if I'd like to
call, it would be a thousand dollars.  I was amazed, but declined the
offer.

Throughout Italy , I kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble
column.  At each, I asked about it and the answer was always the same: It
was a direct line to heaven and I could call for a thousand dollars.

Then - I finished my tour in Israel .  I decided to attend temple
services at a local synagogue.  When I walked in the door I noticed the
golden telephone. Underneath it there was a sign stating:

 "DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN:
25 cents."  "Rabbi," I said, "I have been all over Italy and in all the
cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one.  But
the price is always a thousand dollars.  Why is it that this one is only
25 cents?"
 
 
The Rabbi smiled and said, "Young lady, you're in Israel now. It's a
local call."
