One day in heaven, St. Peter was guarding the gate where he waited for all the souls to come and there he would look at the book of life and decide wether the soul is going in or not. Well, one day he feels he is tired as s@!t, he sees Jesus walking by and he calls him.
-Hey Jesus, can you do me a favor? -Sure what do you want? -Hey, I need to go to the bathroom to take a piss, can you guard the gate for a couple of minutes? - Sure, I'll be glad to!
So Peter goes "to the bathroom" but ends up getting drunk at a bar and he forgets he has to go back to the gate. Meanwhile, Jesus is waiting for Peter to come back and 15 minutes passed, 30, 2 hours, and so on. But since Jesus is such a benevolent man he patiently waited.
Later that day, Jesus can spot an old man walking towards him, but he was too far away for him to recognize him. After 15 minutes, the old man gets to the gate and tells Jesus, "Hi, I've been walking towards this place for about an hour. I guess this is heaven, can I come in?"
Jesus doesn't know what he has to do so he tells the old man to wait because he thinks Peter will be back any minute now. There they are, staring at each other with nothing to say.
Jesus breaks the ice and asks, "So, what do you think about your life?"
The old man replies," My life was wonderful. My real pride was my son though."
Jesus looks at the man and says. "Really, why?"
"Well my kid was a really good one. He always did the right thing, and everyone was amazed by the things that he did. Many books have been written about him and almost everyone in the world knows about him, he loved little kids and always encouraged everyone to do the right thing."
Jesus begins to think: "Wow, this man might be Joseph, my dad," so he asks him, "Really, tell me about you now."
"Well I was carpenter and many people know about me too but the real MAC is my kid and not me. I was so sad when he was gone. I would give anything to see him one more time."
Jesus thinks "Oh my God! this is my dad, he is a carpenter and I did walk away from my family." With his heart full of joy Jesus looks at the man and says: "DAD IT IS ME!!!"
The old man looks at Jesus and says: "Pinnochio!!!"
