Pearly Gates

St. Peter was guarding the Pearly Gates when Jesus came walking by. St. Peter asked him, "Could you mind the gates while I go and get a coffee?"

"Sure", replied Jesus. "What do I have to do?"

"Just find out about the people who arrive. Ask about their occupation, their family, and their lives. Then decide if they deserve entry into Heaven."

Jesus replied, "Sounds easy enough. OK."

So Jesus took over manning the gates. Soon a wrinkled old man with a long white beard, and flowing white hair appeared.

Jesus smiled at the old man and said, "Tell me, what did you do for a living?"

The old man replied, "I was a carpenter."

Jesus remembered his own earthly existence, leaned forward and asked. "Did you have any family?"

"Yes, I had a son, but I lost him."

Jesus leaned forward some more. "You lost your son? Can you tell me about him?"

"Well, he had holes in his hands and feet."

Jesus leaned forward even more and whispered, "Father?"

The old man leaned forward, eyes wide, and whispered, "Pinocchio?"
