Soul Man

Jesus was on his rounds through heaven one day and as he happened by the Pearly Gates he noticed tha St.Peter was looking more than a bit frazzled.He suggested tha Pete take a few days off,to which the former replied that there was no-one there to admit the new souls as they arrived.After much cajoling St.Peter was convinced that perhaps Jesus could handle his work for him for awhile.
He took off and Jesus sat down to work.
After passing several hundred new souls through he looked up to find an elderly,happy looking gentleman standing before him.
Beginning his routine,he asked "name?".Joseph" came the reply. "Occupation on Earth?". "I worked as a carpenter." "Any children?". At this point the gentleman began to tell a story."I had one son in fact my son was very famous on Earth.His story has been told down through the ages and still brings joy and happiness to the hearts of millions".About this tome Jesus looks up and says "father?". to which the old man excitedly replies "Pinocchio?".
