He's standing there, knocking on the pearly gates, but unfortunately for him St Peter's on his lunch break. However, it just so happens that after a little while Jesus passes by. Being the helpful sort, he goes up to the gates and asks if he can help.
"Yes," says the old man, "I've just died and I was hoping to see my son, who died before me."
"I'll see what I can do." says Jesus. "Can I ask your name?"
"Oh, it's Joseph." replies the old man.
"OK, and what's your occupation?"
"Oh, I'm a carpenter."
Jesus thinks about this for a moment. "In that case... does your son have any distinguishing features?"
"Yes, it's very odd, he's got holes in his hands and holes in his feet, you can't miss 'em!"
"I knew it!" cries Jesus, flinging wide the gates. "Father, it's me!"
The old man rushes forward in rapturous happiness, crying "My son! Pinocchio!"
