Who's Your Daddy Now?

St Peter decides to take the day off to go fishing, so Jesus offers to
keep an eye on the Pearly Gates. He is not sure what to do, so Peter
tells him to find out a bit about people as they arrive in Heaven, and
this will help him decide if he can let them in.

After a while, Jesus sees a little old man with white hair approaching
who looks very, very familiar. He asks the old man to tell him about
himself. The old man says, "I had a very sad life. I was a carpenter
and had a son who I lost at a relatively young age, and although he
was not my natural child, I loved him dearly." Jesus welled up with
emotion.

He threw his arms around the old man and cried, "Daddy!"

The old man replied, "Pinocchio?"
