The old man outside heaven

[R3D]

One fine day at the pearly gates to heaven, St. Peter was checking people in and the gates opened for now apparent reason, and out
stepped Jesus.  He said, "St. Peter, of all, you have been most faithful these past millenia, by helping to check people into heaven.
I came to give you a break for the next few millenia..."  St. Peter crossed himself, thanked Jesus profusely and proceeded into heaven for his
well deserved "rest".
Jesus started checking people into heaven and all was going well, until he noticed an old man just up the way, ALSO
checking people before they arrived to the gates.  This unnerved Jesus a little, so when there was a break in people arriving, he decided to
go and talk to the man.  He asked the old man, "Kind sir, why are you checking people before the gates of heaven?  this is better left to myself and St. Peter."
The old man replied in a shaky old voice, "Well, I am looking for my son.  He is everything to me..."  Jesus took pity on the old man and
said, "Perhaps you can tell me a little bit about your son, and maybe I can help you to find him?"  The old man replied, "That would be wonderful!"
he wrung his hands and began, "Well, my son is a very kind and wonderful boy.  He would never harm a fly.  He has dark hair, and an almost
peaceful look on his face at all times.  Oh!  He also has a hole in each hand and each foot!"
Jesus' eyes open wide and he blurts out, "Father?!?!?"
The old man looks up into Jesus' eyes, his own eyes welling with tears, "PINNOCHIO?!?!"   :hysterical:
