> 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 '$10,000 per call'.

> The American, 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
> $10,000 you could talk to God.
>
> The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

> Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral,

> 'O.K., thank you,' said the American.

> He then travelled all across America, Africa, England,
> Japan, New Zealand. In every church he saw the same looking

> The American decided to 0travel to Scotland to see if
> Scots had the same phone.

> He arrived in Scotland and again, in the first church he

>
> The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the

> 'Father, I've travelled all over the world and

> The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Scotland
