Highly Recruited High School Football Player

[Sam]

A highly recruited high school football player was visiting schools to try and find the best college for him.

His first stop was University of Texas, in Austin, Texas. When he got there, Coach Brown 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 the coach 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 University of Texas.

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 $1,000, calling Heaven isn't cheap."

The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along.

His next stop was at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

Upon entering Coach Fran's office, coach immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up.

The boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before.

Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?"

Coach Fran said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $750. Calling Heaven isn't cheap."

Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left.

His last stop was at LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Upon arrival at the office, Coach Miles picked up a golden telephone, talked to God, and said, "Thanks," and hung up.

The boy just had to use that phone, so he said, "Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose.

From UT in Austin, Texas it was going to cost me $1000.

From Texas A&M in College Station, Texas they wanted $750.

So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here at LSU in Baton Rouge?"

Coach Miles smiled and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."

haha...good one  ;D

here is my take on the same joke

A highly recruited high school football player was visiting schools to try and find the best college for him.  

His first stop was Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio  When he got there, Coach Tressel 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 the coach 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 Ohio State University.  

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 $1,000, calling Heaven isn't cheap."  

The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along.  

His next stop was at Penn State University in State College Pennsylvania.  

Upon entering Coach Paterno's office, coach immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up.  

The boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before.  

Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?"  

Coach Paterno said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $750. Calling Heaven isn't cheap."  

Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left.  

His last stop was at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan  

Upon arrival at the office, Coach Carr picked up a golden telephone, talked to God, and said, "Thanks," and hung up.  

The boy just had to use that phone, so he said, "Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose.  

From OSU in Columbus Ohio it was going to cost me $1000.  

From PSU in State College PA they wanted $750.  

So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here at the University of Michigan?"  

Coach Carr smiled and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."
