Quote:
A young football recruit is in the process of selecting his college of choice. While visiting Notre Dame, he notices a golden phone sitting on coach Charlie Weis' desk.
"What is that?" the recruit asks.
Weis responds, "That's the phone to heaven. All college coaches have one."
Ecstatic, the recruit asks if he can use the phone.
"Sure," Weis replies, "but it'll cost you $100 per minute."
Disheartened, knowing he can't afford the call, the recruit thanks Coach Weis for his time.
While visiting Cal, the recruit sees the same gold phone on the Jeff Tedford's desk. "Is that the phone to heaven?" he asks Tedford.
"Yes, it is," Tedford responds.
"How much is it to call heaven?" he inquires.
"It's $100 per minute, son," Tedford responds.
Again saddened, he leaves the office.
At his last stop, USC, the recruit spies the gold phone on Pete Carroll's desk.
Noticing the glance, Carroll says, "That's the phone to--"
The recruit interrupted him.
"--to heaven. I know," he said disappointed.
"What's the matter?" Carroll asked.
"Well," the recruit started, "it's so expensive to call I can't afford it!"
Carroll responds, "Expensive? Son, it doesn't cost anything to call heaven from here!"
Confused, the recruit says, "Really? When I was at the other schools, it cost $100 per minute!"
Smiling, Carroll responds, "Well, son, that's because here, it's a local call."
i got a chuckle
