A rabbi goes to see his friend, the Cardinal when he's at the Vatican. He's hanging out in the Cardinal's office and sees a black phone and a red phone. He asks the Cardinal about the red phone. The Cardinal says- "That's our direct line to God." The rabbi says that's wonderful- can I talk to God please? The Cardinal says sure. So the rabbi and God have a nice conversation about the price of gefilte fish and why little boys squirm so much at a bris. When he gets done- the rabbi asks the Cardinal what he owes him for the phone call. The Cardinal demurs, but the rabbi insists. Finally the Cardinal relents and says- "Give me $5 please."
A couple of months goes by and the Cardinal visits the rabbi in his office in Jerusalem. He sees a black phone and a red phone- asks the rabbi what's the red phone for? He gets the expected response- it's our direct line to God. So the Cardinal asks the rabbi- gee- it's been a couple of days since I talked to God- could I borrow your phone? The rabbi says sure. So the Cardinal and God have a nice chat about incense and how the Mets are doing. After he hangs up, the Cardinal asks to pay for the call. The rabbi of course, demurs, but the Cardinal insists, pointing out that the rabbi paid for his phone call. The rabbi says Oy- OK, give me a quarter. The Cardinal says "A quarter? Why so cheap?" The rabbi says- "It's a local call."
