Jesus is wandering around Heaven, thinking about Joseph. "Good old Earth Dad," he thinks "haven't seen him for CENTURIES - must look him up some time"
Then he comes across a very old man, sitting on a cloud, weeping.
"What's the matter, old man?" says Jesus
"I'm so unhappy" says the old man "I haven't seen my son since I came to Heaven and I miss him so"
"I know a few people around here" says Jesus "Tell me about him - perhaps I know him"
"Well, on Earth I was a carpenter, and we lived in a little village."
"Really?" says Jesus
"Yes - and you'd know my son, because he has a hole through the palms of both hands and holes through his feet"
Jesus looks down at his hands and at his feet and throws wide his arms, crying "Daddy!"
The old man beams and cries -
"Pinnocchio!"
