A guy decides to take a trip across America. He goes to New York and visits a church. There's a telephone on the altar and he asks the preacher why it's there. The preacher says that we've figured out how to talk to Heaven on the telephone. The preacher does say that it costs 85 cents a minute.
The man then travels to California and he goes to another church and sees a phone on the altar. He asks if this is this the phone line to Heaven and the preacher says yes, but it'll cost 80 cents a minute.
Then the guy finds himself in a small country church on the Missouri-Arkansas border. He sees a phone and asks if this the phone line to Heaven, the preacher says yes. The man asks how much a minute. The preacher says it's free. The man says that in New York and California it costs to call. The preacher smiles and says, "It's a local call here in the Ozarks"
