- The Funny Tale Of The Red Phone
-
- The Reverend Billy Graham visited the Pontiff, his
holiness in Rome. Upon arriving he was ushered into a special room prepared
just for his visit. As he sat waiting he noticed a special RED PHONE sitting
in the center of the room on a marble stand.
-
- When the Pope arrived to greet Reverend Graham, he
commented, "That phone is unique. What do you use it for?"
-
- The Pope responded, "I talk to G-d on that phone.
It's a special direct line."
-
- "Really!" gasped Reverend Graham. "How much
does a call cost?"
-
- "Well, it's about $20,000 a minute, but well worth
every penny of it!" answered the Pope.
-
- A Year later, Reverend. Graham went to see Rabbi Goldstein
in Jerusalem. Again he noticed a RED
- PHONE on a marble stand but didn't say anything.
-
- Later that day he visited the Prime Minister of Israel.
Upon arriving he was directed right into the Prime Minister's office. When
he entered the room the Prime Minister was speaking on his RED PHONE sitting
on a marble stand. Immediately, Reverend Graham knew he was speaking with
G-d, being aquainted with Jewish phrases used to address the Holy One. After
about fifty minutes the conversation concluded.
-
- Graham responded, "By estimation that call cost about
a million dollars."
- "Not here," replied the Prime Mininster.
"Talking to G-d is a local call for us."
