[Hunt or be Hunted]

heres a joke for all the Illinois ppl lol.

hopefully its ok to post in here if not move it

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.

Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes.

He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a

sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute.."

Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor

answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if

he pays the price he can talk directly to GOD.

The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to

visit churches in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and

many cities and towns all around the United States, he found more phones,

with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Southern Illinois , upon entering a church in the

beautiful Shawnee National Forest region of Illinois, behold - he saw the

usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: 35 cents"

Fascinated, he to talked to the pastor, E. James Rivett. 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 only 35 cents a call. Why?"

The pastor, smiling broadly, replied, "Son, you're in Southern Illinois now, gods country!... It's a local call. :D
