A highly recruited high school football player was visiting schools to try and find the best college to attend. His first stop was at Penn State.
When he got there, Joe Paterno immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God," and hung up. This shocked the young man. He asked JoePa what was so special about the golden phone.
"Well, this phone is a direct line to God. And God tells us whether or not new recruits would be stars at our university. And we think you could be one of our stars!" The athlete asked if he could use the phone to ask God what college he should pick.
"Sure, you can! But it's going to cost you $1,250. Calling Heaven isn't cheap." The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along. Who would want to live in Pennsylvania anyway?
His next stop was the University of Michigan. Upon entering Lloyd Carr's office, Coach Carr immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God. We'll let him know," and hung up.
The boy said, "Hey, I've seen that phone before. Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?"
Carr said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $350. Calling Heaven isn't cheap." Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left. He didn't want to live in Michigan either.
His last stop was in Columbus, Ohio. Upon arrival at the office, Coach Tressel picked up a golden telephone and talked to God. After a few minutes he said, "Thanks," and hung up.
The boy looked longingly at the phone for a minute and finally said, "Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose. From Pennsylvania it was going to cost me $1,250. In Michigan, they wanted $350. So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here at The Ohio State University?"
Coach Tressel smiled and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."
