The man, 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 man thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta. 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
Orlando and he asked a nearby 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. "O.K., thank you," said the man.
He then traveled to Indianapolis, Washington DC,
Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. In every church he saw the
same golden telephone with the same "$10,000 per call" sign
under it.The man, upon leaving New York decided to travel
out mid west to see if western states had the same phone.
He arrived in Iowa, and again, in the first church he entered,
there was the same golden telephone, but this time the
sign under it read "40 cents per call." The man was surprised
so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've traveled all
over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many
churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the
east and south the price was $10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?
The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Iowa now,
son, it's a local call".

And the second one is from Kevin Rayner:
God explained to one of his angels, "I just figured out how to rotate
the Earth so that it creates 24-hour periods of alternating light and
darkness."
The angel asked reverantly, "What are you going to do next?"
God replied, "I think I'll call it a day."
