the pearly gates and upon seeing him, Jesus asks, "What is your name?"
"I'm so old, I don't remember"
"So, where are you from?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't remember that either"
"I'm sorry, too, but I need some information so that I make look up
your name in the Book of Life."
"Well, all I remember is that I was a carpenter, and that I had a son
who became incredibly famous throughout the land, so that even today
his story is still being told to millions."
Jesus looked closely at him and then whispered, "Father?"
And the old man responded tears in his eyes, "Pinocchio?"
