At The Gates of Heaven

One day, up in heaven, Jesus was filling in for St. Peter at the golden gates. Eternity was passing slowly and Jesus had only sent through four million people. After a while a man with a beard comes up to Jesus.

"Name?" Asked Jesus.

"Joseph" Replied the old man.

"Occupation?"

"Carpenter"

Jesus looked interested. "Any children?" He asked.

"Only one, but he was taken from me while he was very young"

Jesus looked at the man, stunned. "Father?" he asked.

"Pinocchio?"
