Jesus and St. Peter were chatting one day when St. Peter said;
"Look, Jesus, I got to go talk to Bill Shakespere, I've been ducking him all week, would you mind taking over here for a while?"
Jesus says, "Sure.".
St. Peter says, "Just get the usuall info, name, occupation, fanily, yadda, yadda, yadda!".
"No problem!" Jesus says.
Things go smoothly for a while, then a little old man reaches the Gates of Heaven.
"Name?", Jesus says.
"I don't know!" the man replied. "Before I died, I had amnesia!"
"Hmmmmmmm?" said Jesus, "well, can you remember what you did for a livng?"
The man thought, then said, "I seem to remember working with wood."
Jesus said, "A Carpenter?"
Brightening, the man said, "Yes, I was a carpenter! That's it!"
O.K." Jesus said, "How about family?"
The man thought, but said nothing.
"Did you have a wife?" Jesus prompted.
Yes!" said the man, "I remember a woman, She was a very special woman, she seemed to have a kind of glow about her!"
"I see, Said Jesus, "and did you have any children?"
Again the man thought, but said nothing.
"A daughter, or son. perhaps?" asked Jesus.
"Yes!" the man said, "I seem to remember a boy. He left when he was very young, but he must have been important, because I kept hearing about all the marvelous things he did!"
Jesus, now openly weeping, throws his arms open, saying "Father!"
The man opens his arms and rushes forward saying, "Pinnoccio!"
