A Texan, a Floridian, and a Washingtonian all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.


The Texan asks to call Dallas and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so the Texan writes him a check.


Next the Floridian calls Miami and talks for 30 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is 6 million dollars, so he writes him a check.


Finally the Washingtonian gets his turn he calls Seattle and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00. When the Texan hears this, he goes ballistic and asks the devil why the Washingtonian got to call Seattle so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies, "Since Jay Inslee took over, the state has gone to hell, so it's a local call”.
