Long distance charges apply

[The Beep Goes On]

Begin forwarded message:

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to
hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is
for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia, and he talks for 5 minutes.
When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost of the call
is a million dollars. So Putin writes the devil a check for the
charges.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When
she is finished, the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million
dollars, so she also writes a check for the charges.

Finally George Bush gets his turn, and he talks for over 4 hours.
When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is $5.

When Putin hears this, he just goes ballistic and asks the devil why
Bush got to call the USA so cheaply?

The devil smiles and replies: “Since Obama took over, the country
has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”
