The chief Rabbi goes to Vatican to visit the Pope. While in his office, he notices a red phone on the desk and asks about it. The Pope sais "well, this is my direct line to God."

"Can I make a call?" asks the rabbi

"Sure, go ahead!" says the pope

So the rabbi is on the phone with God for about five minutes; he hangs up and asks the pope "OK, I'm done. Thank you. How much do I owe you for the call?"

"Oh, no, you shouldn't pay anything, you are my guest, just take it as part of the hospitality"

"But please, I insist" sais the rabbi

"OK, fine. It's 200 euro"

After a few months, the pope pays a visit to Jerusalem to see his old friend, the chief rabbi. While in the rabbi's home, he notices a red phone.

"Rabbi, is this what I think it is?" asks the pope

"Of course! I followed your example, and decided to take advantage of current technology."

"May I ...?" asks the pope hesitantly

"You are my guest, my friend!"

So the Pope makes his phone-call, and after about 45 minutes he hangs up and asks

"Rabi, you are so kind. How much do I owe you for the call?"

"Nothing"

"Really, I insist, I've been talking for a long time. I don't want to abuse of your hospitality" sais the Pope

"I'm serious, It does not cost you anything!" sais the Rabbi. "It's local"
