An American decided to write a book about famous churches
> >around the world. For his first chapter he decided to write about

> >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 writer, 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

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

> >He then travelled to Liverpool, Belfast, Chester, Essex, Scotland

> >so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've travelled all over
> >Great Britain and I've seen this same golden telephone in many
