"John Madden to God, can ya hear me?"

John Madden was in Chicago to announce a football game one weekend when
he noticed a special telephone near the Bear's bench. He asked a nearby
player what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God.

John asked if he could use it, the player told him, "Sure, but it will
cost you $100." John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I
could use some help picking games. He pulled out his wallet and paid $100.
John's picks were perfect that week.

The next week John was in Texas when he noticed the same kind of phone on
the Cowboy's bench. He asked what the phone was for and was told, "It's a
hotline to God, if you want to use it, it will cost you $500." Recalling
last week, John pulled out his wallet and made the call. John's picks
were perfect again that week.

The next weekend John was in Green Bay at Lambeau Field when he noticed
the same kind of phone by the Packer bench. He asked Brett Farve, "Is that
the hotline to God?" Brett said, "Yes, but it will cost you 35 cents."
John looked incredulously at Brett and said, "Wait a second, I just paid
$100 in Chicago and $500 in Texas to use the same phone to God! Why does
Green Bay only charge 35 cents?" Brett looked at John and replied, "In Green Bay,
it's a local call."
