♦ A LOCAL CALL
An old Russian immigrant, feeling he didn’t have long for this world, decided to visit his homeland one last time and stay with a distant cousin living just outside Moscow. Together, they drank whiskey & vodka and joked about the good old days.
The old American boasted to his cousin that he could call anywhere he liked from America, even Hell if he so pleased. His cousin replied that this could even be done in Russia, so gave him a telephone. The old American looked the number up1 in his diary and dialed it. Soon, the call was answered:
Operator: ‘Hello….This is Hell….How can I help you?»
Old American: «Is that the operator? No? Cerberus? I can’t hear very well – there’s barking on the line. Can you speak up2? What company is this? No matter – put me through3 to the chief, please. Tell him it’s Jimmy from the USA calling!»
Operator: «Please, hold on4 and I’ll put you through… (waiting) I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, but I’m afraid, Mr. Satan is very busy at the moment. However, we can see that you’re going to visit us soon, so would you like to make a reservation? We can put you up5 directly on your way to purgatory…»
Old American: «No thanks, not this time – not quite ready yet. Tell Mr. Satan I’ll call him back6 later on. Goodbye!»
The old man hung up7 the phone and turned to his cousin: «You know, last time this call didn’t work from my house in Iowa. The line was breaking up8 and I seemed to be hanging on9 for ages, so I cut the call off10. This time the connection was great with no delays – fantastic!»
Next morning, a postman delivered the phone bill. The old American opened it and was once again surprised.
Old American: «Is this right? The charges are ten times less than I had in the USA. This is way too cheap.»
His Cousin (grinning): «Yes, but in the USA it’s long-distance… from Russia it’s just a local call!»
