A Local Call

During his visit to the USSR, Richard Nixon was intrigued by a new telephone capable of connecting with Hell.

He spoke briefly with the devil, and the call cost him 27 cents.

When he came back home, he found out that this same service was now available in the US too.

He tried it again and received a bill for $12,000.

Nixon was distressed.

--"How come?!" he asked the operator.  "The same call only cost me 27 cents in the USSR."

--"You see, sir", said the operator. "Over there it's a local call."

More Russian jokes.
