	This is one of those "good news - bad news" type ha-ha's.


Picture Moses coming down from the mountain with two stone tablets under
his arms.  He addresses the multitude:

	"I have some good news and some bad news.  The good news is I've
talked Him down to only ten.  The bad news is -- adultery is still one of
them!"

	St. Peter was having an exceptionally bad day manning the pearly
gates and it occurred to Jesus to give him a little time off.

	"Go get a cup of coffee," Jesus said.  "I can handle the gates."

	No sooner had St. Peter left that an old man came shuffling to
the door.  "Well, my good man," said Jesus.  "And what have you done in
your lifetime to merit entrance into the Kingdom?"

	"Well, nothing much," replied the old man.  "I'm just a poor
carpenter.  The only remarkable thing about my life was my son."

	"Your son?" asked Jesus, interested.

	"Yes.  "He had a remarkable birth and underwent an incredible
transformation.  Now he is known and loved throughout the world."

	Jesus threw his arms around the man and exclaimed, "Father,
father!!"

	The old man looked at him quizzically.  "Pinocchio?"
