...in the dark underworld, the Lord of Darkness met with three folks who were consigned there for varying lengths of temporary stay: Vladimer Putin, Tony Blair, and George W Bush.
During the meeting, the three inform the Devil that they would like to be able to check up on their homelands. The Dark Lord agrees: each is granted one phone call.
Mr. Putin calls Russia and talks for five minutes. The Devil tells Mr. Putin that the call was $5 million. Mr. Putin makes out a check.
Mr. Blair then calls Great Britain, and has a 30 minute conversation about a variety of things. The Devil asks for and Tony Blair gives him, a check for $30 million.
The Lord of Darkness then grants Mr. Bush his phone call. Mr. Bush talks for an hour. The same terms apply, Mr. Bush is to reimburse the Devil for the cost of the call. "Sixty dollars," the Devil says.
Mr. Putin immediately protests: why are we charged so much while Mr. Bush has to pay so little?
"Well," the Dark Lord remarked, "once Obama got done with the United States, it became a local call."
