St. Patty's Day Funny!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

I received this St Pat's Day joke from a friend, I hadn't seen it before.  Just want to share it and hope to put a smile on a few faces.  Seems we need a few of those these days!  So here it goes:

While on vacation in Rome , I noticed a marble column in St. Peter's with 
a golden telephone on it. As a young 
priest passed by, I asked who the telephone was for. The priest told me
it was a direct line to heaven, and if 
I'd like to call, it would be a thousand dollars. I was amazed, but 
declined the offer. 
 
Throughout Italy , I kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble 
column. At each, I asked about it and the 
answer was always the same: It was a direct line to heaven and I could 
call for a thousand dollars. 
 
Then - I finished my tour in Ireland . 
I decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When I walked in the 
door I noticed the golden telephone.. 
Underneath it there was a sign stating: "DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN: 25 
cents."
"Father," I said, "I have been all over Italy and in all the cathedrals I 
visited,  I've seen telephones exactly like this one. But the price is always a 
thousand dollars. 
Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?" 
 
 
The priest smiled and said, "Darlin', you're in Ireland now. It's a 
local call." 

Happy St. Patrick's Day,a little early!!.... Author: Unknown

Now this one is kinda funny. Cross between cute and funny ... nah it's funny. Anyway, I just read it to my husband. As he walked out of the room I heard him say "Oh brother". He's in the kitchen... laughing, so it must be funny. Thanks for sharing and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Yeah, didn't see the punchline coming.  I am going out for corned beef and cabbage at the local eatery so this will give me some holiday conversation. Thanks.  By the way, I grew up in Elm Grove

You don't think the Irish have a bit of arrogance do you?
