Subject: Jesus decided to go say hi to his old buddy St. Peter

Jesus decided to go say hi to his old buddy St. Peter,
so he strolled out to the Pearly Gates and noticed a
HUGE long line of people waiting to get in.

St. Peter saw Jesus coming and said "Oh, thank goodness
someone showed up! Listen, Jesus, there's a huge line
of people out here, and I'm going bats trying to keep
them all sorted out. Could you take over for a few
minutes so I can take a break? I'd be ever so
grateful!"

Jesus said that sure, it'd be fine with him to be in
charge for a while, but he really wasn't sure what kind
of stuff he should check for. St. Peter told him, "Hey,
it's easy. A lot of them are already written down on
the invitation list. Just make small talk with them
while you look for their names. If they're not on the
list, just tell them you're not the one normally in
charge, so if they wait a bit, I'll deal with them when
I get back."

So St. Peter left for a while, and Jesus handled the
line of people, looking up their names and generally
yakking it up with the folks waiting to get in.
Eventually the line got to this one little old man.
Jesus started talking to him, "So, what did you do for
a living when you were alive?"

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

Jesus's ears pricked up at that answer. "Ah," He said.
"Did you have a wife or any children?"

"I had one son, but I lost him."

Jesus started to suspect something was up with this
little old man, and decided to ask another question.
"Ah, a terrible loss, my good man. Tell me, what did he
look like?"

"Well," said the old man, "he looked just like any
other boy, I guess, except he had holes in his hands
and his feet."

Jesus grinned broadly, opened His arms wide and cried,
"DAD!"

The old man gasped. "PINOCCHIO!"
