A man was visiting Westminster Abbey when he saw a telephone on the wall with a sign next to it saying "Direct line to God:- £50 per minute". Sometime later, he went to St. Peter's in Rome where he again saw a telephone with a sign that said "Direct line to God:- 75€ per minute". Next, he went to St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York where there was a telephone with a sign saying "Direct line to God:- $100 per minute". Then he went to York Minster where he found a telephone with a sign that said "Direct line to God:- 50p per minute". Puzzled, he asked one of the clergymen: "Why is your direct line to God so much cheaper than in London, Rome and New York? Back came the reply: "You're in Yorkshire now. It's a local call from here".
