Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 The time has come for St. Peter's annual vacation and Jesus volunteers to fill in for him at the Pearly Gates. " It's no big deal, " St. Peter explains. " Sit at the desk, ask a few personal questions, then send them off to housekeeping to pick up their wings. " On the third day, Jesus looks up to see a bewildered old man sitting in front of him. " I'm a simple carpenter, " says the man. " Once I had a son. He was born in a very special way, and was unlike anyone else in this world. He went through a great transformation even though he had holes in his hands and feet. He was taken from me a long time ago, but his Spirit lives on forever. All over the world, people tell his story. " By this time, Jesus is standing with arms outstretched. There are tears in his eyes, and he embraces the old man. " Daddy, " he cries out " It's been so long. " The old man squints, stares for a moment and says, " Pinocchio? " Quote
