Bad Joke of the Day, for @Fearlessknits and @GuitaringLancey

[miss_s_b]

An American tourist decides she's going to visit all the great cathedrals of England.

She starts at St Paul's, takes the tour and is very impressed by the architecture. While wandering round the nave, she notices in a corner a golden payphone with a sign on it:

Direct Line to God: Ten Thousand pounds per minute. Insert credit card here

She finds a clergyperson and asks if it's for real. The clergyperson replies that yes, it's definitely for real, and sorry it's so expensive.

She travels around many cathedrals (you can make this joke go on forever with names of cathedrals) and in each one, somewhere, there's the same thing: gold payphone, little sign, ten grand a minute.

Eventually, having worked her way round the country, she gets to St Peter's in Bradford. Tucked away in a little corner in St Peter's there's a gold payphone but the sign is different:

Direct Line to God: 10p per hour. Insert coin here

Stunned, she finds a cleryperson and asks why the phone in St Peter's is so much cheaper than all the others she's seen. The clergyperson looks at her as though she's a bit daft and explains:

Well, lass, the difference is it's a local call from here

You can all hate me now.

That's a bad joke. So bad I'll be wheeling it out by 10:15 at the latest today :)

Yay for having a professional Yorkshireman who's lived in Tunbridge for 20 years on one's team ;)
