West Virginia

[Elwood]

It's been a while since I heard this one and I just got in an email and thought the rest of the West Virginians on here would like to hear it again.

 

 

 

 

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 West

Virginia .. Upon entering a church in Clarksburg, West Virginia, 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, In every 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?" (I just love

this part) The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in West

Virginia now.....it's a local call."
