The Pope and the Chief Rabbi
And old joke, but one worth repeating:
The chief rabbi of Israel visits the Vatican. The Pope
shows him all the beautiful artwork and the religious
treaures, and the rabbi notices in one corner, in a
special case, is a rather elaborate telephone. "That,"
says the Pontif, "is our means of direct
communication with God? Would you like to give
him a call? It's $10,000 per minute."
The rabbi passes on the offer, but a few months later
the Pope visits Israel, and in the rabbi's office
notices a very simple phone sitting on a cushion in
one corner. "That's our phone for talking to God,"
says the rabbi. "Would you like to make a call?"
"I don't have $10,000 on me just at the moment,"
says the Pope.
"Not a problem," says the rabbi. "It's a local call."
