Those are very funny, TB and dt.

St. Peter had been working hard at the pearly gates when Jesus approached him, gave him the day off and said he would man the gates himself.

As he looked happily on the throngs of people entering the gates, he noticed a familiar old face in the distance. He couldn't believe his eyes as the old man in tattered garments drew near. Jesus walked to him and asked, "Old man, tell me, what is it that you seek?"

The old man, head bowed, replied, "I look for my son. In life -long ago- I was a simple carpenter, who had a son. A magnificent son. But he left me. He endured cruel treatment from wicked men, and I've searched forever for him."

Jesus hugged the old man and said, "Oh, Father!"

The old man embraced Jesus and exclaimed, "Pinocchio!"

(Okay, I'll say 4 Hail Marys and 2 Our Fathers.)
