heaven on earth....

A globe-trotting tourist decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$1000 per call"

The Tourist, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $1000 you could talk to God.

The Tourist thanked the priest & went along his way.

Next stop was in Japan. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in China & he asked a nearby nun why it’s so costly.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven & for $1000 he could talk to God.

"O.K., thank you," said the Tourist.

He then traveled to Pakistan, then Sri Lanka, Russia, Germany and France.

In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$1000 per call" sign under it.

The Tourist, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to his last stop India to see if Indians had the same phone.

He arrived in India, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read, "One Rupee per call."

The Tourist was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've traveled all over World and I've seen this same golden Telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but Worldwide the price was $1000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"

The priest smiled and answered, "You're in India, Son- it's a Local Call".


This is the only HEAVEN on the Earth.
