Why we love Wyoming...
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. He went to a very large church and began taking photographs, etc. He
spots a golden telephone on a wall and is intrigued with a sign which reads
"$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the pastor he asks about the phone and the
sign. The pastor answers that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to
Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. He thanks the
pastor and continues on his way. As he continues to visit churches in
Seattle, Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and around the United
States, he finds more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from
each pastor. Finally, he arrives in Wyoming. Upon entering a church in the
mountains of Wyoming behold, he sees the usual golden telephone. But THIS
time, the sign reads "Calls: 25 cents." Fascinated, he requests to talk to
the pastor. "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in
each 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 25 cents a call.
Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replies, "Son, you're in Wyoming now, and it's
a local call."
