So it's true Yorkshire folk are perfect.?

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the
world,
> so he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Rome.
> 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.
>
> His next stop was in Moscow. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw

> the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered
if
this was
> the same kind of telephone he saw in Rome and he asked a nun what its

> purpose was.
>
> She told him that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000

> he could talk to God. "OK. Thank you," said the American.
>
> He then travelled to France, Israel, Germany and Brazil. In every
church he
> saw the same golden telephone with a "$10,000 per call" sign under
it.
>
> The American finally decided to travel to the UK to see if the
British had
> the same telephone. He arrived in York and again, in the Minster,
there was
> the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "20p

> per call".
>
> The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
> "Reverend, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same
golden
> telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to
> heaven, but everywhere I went the price was $10,000 per call. Why is

> it so cheap here?"
>
> The priest smiled and answered,
>
> "You're in Yorkshire now son. It's a local call."

top joke,have a star

That's a really sweet joke! Thanks.

Like it,Thank you for the laugh.Go on then have a star.

The truth is all english have a direct line to heaven as were all so perfect.

Ooh, absolutely. To ring London is the equivalent of anyone else ringing America. Us Yorkshire folk are canny with our brass!!

Thats dumb.

I liked that, not because I'm Yorkshire born,
I enjoyed reading it.

Well it is a sweet joke, and I've worked on location a few times before now in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
I parked outside a small factory once - on the street, where I was working one day, and was asked "is that your van outside?"
I replied "Yes"
To which this man said "Good, 'cos otherwise we would have let the tyres down".
Them's queer as folk, up north, but have a great sense of humour.

hahahaha

Funny! 100!
