St. Peter is watching the gates of Heaven, but he really needs
 to go to the bathroom.  He asks Jesus to watch the gates for a
 few minutes, and Jesus says "Fine."  St. Peter takes the book 
which lists everyone who's supposed to get into Heaven with him 
to the bathroom to have something to read.

As Jesus is standing there, he sees this old man leading 
a donkey up from Earth to Heaven.  He notices the old 
man has carpenters tools with him.

When the old man gets to the gates, Jesus tells him he doesn't  
have the book, but asks the old man to explain his life 
and why he felt he should be admitted into Heaven. 
 Jesus would then make the decision whether or not to let him
 in based on the story.

The man explains "In English, my name would be Joseph,
 but I didn't live in America or England.  I 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 unsavory characters,
 although 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 awestruck by the man's story.  He looks into
 the old man's eyes and asks, "Father?"

The old man's face brightens; he looks at Jesus, 
and asks, "Pinocchio?"
