A man from Helena, Montana, decided to write a book about churches around the United States. He started by flying to Sacramento, and then planned to work his way around the country from there.
 
At a big church in Sacramento, he spotted a golden telephone on a wall with a sign that read: ‘Calls $5,000 a minute.’ Intrigued, he asked the pastor for an explanation. The pastor revealed that the golden phone was a direct line to Heaven, and that for $5,000 the caller could talk directly to God.
 
As he continued on his travels – via Phoenix, Denver, St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, New York and Washington – the man found more phones with the same sign. From each pastor, he received the same explanation.
 
Finally he arrived in the South, and, upon entering a church, he found yet another golden telephone, but this time the sign read: ‘Calls 35 cents a minute.’

He sought out the pastor and said: ‘Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this very same golden telephone. Each time I have been told that it is a direct line to Heaven and that the caller can talk to God. However in the other churches, the cost was $5,000 a minute. Yet your sign says that it’s just 35 cents a minute to talk to God. Why is that?’
 
Smiling benignly, the pastor replied: ‘My son, you’re in Texas now. It’s a local call.’
