St. Peter is watching the gates of Heaven but he really has to go for a p*sh. He asks Jesus to watch the gates for a minute and he agrees.
After a while he sees an old man leading a donkey up from Earth to Heaven and notices he has carpenters tools with him. When the old man gets to the gates Jesus asks him to describe his life and explain why he feels he should be admitted into heaven.
The man explains, "In English, my name would be Joseph but I didn’t live in America or England. I have lived a modest life making things out of wood. I’m not remembered very well by most people but almost everyone has heard of my son. I call him my son but I was more of a Dad to him, he didn’t really come into this world in the usual way.
I sent my son out to be among the people of the world. He was ridiculed by many and was even known to associate himself with some pretty unsavoury characters yet he himself tried to be honest and perfect. My single biggest reason for trying to get into Heaven is to be reunited with my son."
Jesus is awe-struck by the old man’s story. He looks into his eyes and asks "Father?"
The old man’s face brightens, he looks at Jesus and asks "Pinocchio?"
