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."
