Saint Peter has been at the Pearly Gates for a long time and he is in desperate need of a break. Jesus agrees to stand watch while St. Peter gets a chance to relax. Jesus takes up the post and sees an old man heading toward him. Jesus asks the old man if he needs any help.
"Yes," replies the old man. "I'm trying to find my son and I'm hoping you can help me find him."
Jesus asks the old man to describe his son.
"Oh, he's a really good boy!" replies the old man. "Most everybody loves him! He did get into trouble and he was unjustly punished. But afterwards he was brought back to life and now he's an inspiration to people! I'm sure you'd remember if you saw him because he has nails in his hands and feet."
Jesus is flabbergasted. He can barely hold in his emotions as he stammers, "Father?"
The old man's eyes brighten as he exclaims, "Pinocchio?"
"Yes," replies the old man. "I'm trying to find my son and I'm hoping you can help me find him."

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
