Cape Breton; It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there

A man in Vancouver, BC decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to Calgary and worked east from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued by a sign which read: "$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the Pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The Pastor explained that the golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God. The man thanked the Pastor and continued on his way.

As he continued to visit churches in Saskatoon, Toronto, Montreal, Fredericton, Halifax and all around Canada, he found more phones with the same sign and got the same answer from each Pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Sydney, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls: 35 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the Pastor. "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone. I have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 35 cents. Why?"

The Pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Me son, you're in Cape Breton now... It's a local call."

I'm BC and I'll BC'ing Ya
