TIME OUT for Comic Relief: A JOKE

From time to time a reader sends me a pertinent joke. I have decided to publish the following joke for my readers. A little sarcastic humor at times is perhaps appropriate for the times we face.-PRS

************************************

THE PHONE CALL

     George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. (No joke!) 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 talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.
  
      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 writes him a check.
  
       Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.
       

When Putin hears this he 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..."

I get it.
