Följande historia fick jag från en palestinsk vän i Gaza:
A British, an American, and a Palestinian died, and they all went to hell. The British said: "I miss England! I want to call England and see how everybody is doing there!" He called and talked for about five minutes. Then he asked: "Well, Devil how much do I owe you for the phone call ? " The Devil answered: "Five million dollars". "Five million dollars!!!" The British man wrote him a check and went back to sit on his chair.
The American was envious and he started screaming: "Me too! Me too! I want to call the United States; I want to see how everybody is doing too!!" So he called and talked for about two minutes, then he said: "Well, Devil how much do I owe you for the phone call ?" The Devil answered: "Ten million dollars." "Ten million dollars!?" The American wrote him a check and went back to sit on his chair.
The Palestinian was also extremely envious. He started screaming: "I want to call Palestine too; I want to see how everybody is doing there! I want talk to everybody!" So he called Palestine and he talked for about twenty hours. He was talking and talking and talking. Then he said: "Well, Devil, how much do I owe you for the phone call ?" The devil answered: "One dollar… " "Only one dollar?!!"
"Yes", said the Devil, "well, you know: from hell to hell, it’s local."
