Calling Home
An Englishman, an American and an Iranian died and went to hell.
One day the Englishman said: "I've missed England; I want to call England
and see how everybody is doing." So he called and talked for about 5 minutes.
Then he said: "Well, devil, how much do I owe you for the phone call?" The
devil said: "Five million dollars!" The Englishman made him a cheque and
went back to his chair.
The American was so jealous, so he started screaming: "I want to call the
United States. I want to see how everybody is doing there too." So he called
and talked for about 10 minutes, and then he said: "Well, devil how much do
I owe you for the phone call?" The devil said: "Ten million dollars!" The
American made him a cheque and went back to his chair.
The Iranian was extremely jealous too. So, he started screaming and screaming:
"I want to call home too! I want to call Iran and want to see how everybody is
doing there too. I wanna talk to everybody!" So he called Iran and talked for
about twenty hours. He talked and talked and talked. Then he said: "Well, devil,
how much do I owe you for the phone call?" The devil said: "One dollar!" The
Iranian said: "How come only one dollar?" The devil said: "Yes, well ... from
hell to hell, it's just a local call!!"
