St. Peter had been busy all day, checking people into heaven and really needed to use the restroom. Jesus came through as he and God often did and asked him how he was doing. St. Peter told him of his plight. "No problem Peter, just tell me what I need to do." "Well, Lord, all you need to do is ask them what they did in life and if they left any family behind." "Okay, Peter, take your time, I'll take it from here."
A few minutes later and old man came up to the desk. "What did you do in life," Jesus inquired. "I come from a long line of carpenters," the man replied. This took Jesus somewhat by surprise, "My father was a carpenter." "Did you have any family," Jesus continued. "Yes, just one son," the man replied. One son, "Did he have any Identifying marks?" "Yes, he had holes in his hands and feet." Jesus could contain himself no longer. "I know its you Dad," Jesus exclaimed, thinking God was playing another practical joke. The old man brightened "Pinocchio???"
