Witty Aussie Humour About 'Calling Heaven'

Jay, an American, was charged to compose a book about popular holy places far and wide. Firstly, Jay purchased a plane ticket and traveled to Columbus, Ohio, USA, suspecting that he would begin by working his way over the USA from East to West. Amusing anecdote about calling god on the telephone

On his first day he was inside a congregation taking photos when he saw a brilliant phone mounted on the divider with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".

Jay was charmed so he asked a minister who was walking around what the phone was utilized for.

The cleric answered that it was an immediate line to paradise and that for $10,000 you could converse with God. Jay expressed gratitude toward the cleric and went on his way.

Next stop was in Des Moines, Iowa and there at a huge church building, he saw a similar looking brilliant phone with a similar sign under it. Jay thought about whether this was a similar sort of phone he had found in Columbus and he asked a close-by pious devotee what its motivation was.

She let him know that it was an immediate line to paradise and that for $10,000 he could converse with God. Genuinely amiable, Jay expressed gratitude toward the cloister adherent for her offer assistance.

Jay then traversed America, Europe, England, Japan, New Zealand. In each congregation, he saw a similar looking brilliant phone with the same "$US10,000 per call" sign under it.

Jay chose to go toward the southern side of the equator to Australia to check whether they had a comparative telephone. He touched down in Western Australia, and once more, in the primary church he entered, there was a similar looking brilliant phone, yet this time the sign under it read "40 pennies for every call."

To some degree shocked, Jay got some information about the sign. 'Father Brian, I've voyaged everywhere throughout the world and I've seen this same brilliant phone in many places of worship. I'm informed that it is an immediate line to Heaven, yet in every one of them, the cost was $10,000 per call. Why is it so modest here?'

Father Brian grinned and replied, 'My child, you're in Australia now - this is Heaven, so it's only a local call.'
