The Golden Telephone

[bowtwi]

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, Greensboro,

Chicago, and all around the United States, he found

more phones with the same sign, and the same answer

from each pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Wisconsin. Upon entering a

church in Waterloo, Wisconsin behold, he saw the

usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read

Calls: 35 cents."

Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor.

"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 35 cents a call. Why?"

The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in

Wisconsin - now.....it's a local call."

Two tourists from Illinois were driving through Wisconsin. As they

were approaching Oconomowoc, they started arguing about the pronunciation

of the town's name.

They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee,

"Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us?

Would you please pronounce where we are? very slowly?"

The blonde leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrgerrrrrr Kiiiing."
