"Phone call to God" joke

Billy Graham went to see the Pope in Rome. While he was waiting, Billy noticed a red phone. As he was ushered in to talk to the Pope, he asked, "What's the red phone for?" "That's to talk to God," came the reply. "Really," Billy gasped, "how much does such a call cost - it's an awful long way?" "$10,000 a minute, but it's well worth it." answered the Pope. Some weeks later, Billy Graham went to see the Chief Rabbi in Jerusalem. He noticed that he, too, had a red phone. "I don't suppose," asked Billy, "that this phone is to talk to God?" "Yes it is." came the reply. "And how much does that cost?" Billy inquired. "Twenty-five cents a minute," shrugged the chief rabbi. "How come it's so cheap?" Billy asked, "the Pope has a phone like that and it costs $10,000 a minute!" "Well," grinned the Chief Rabbi, "From here it's just a local call."
