Phone to God

PHONE TO GOD
>A man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches around the
>country. He 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 "$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, Austin, Michigan, Chicago,
>Milwaukee, and around the United States, he found more phones, with the
>same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
>Finally he arrived in Indiana. Upon entering a church at The University of
>Notre Dame, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But This time, the
>sign read "Calls: 25 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the Priest.
>"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 25 cents a call. Why?"
>I just love this part------
>The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're at Notre Dame now!
>It's a local call."
