Old Man in Heaven

There was an old man in heaven who was seated looking at planet Earth with a long face. In a place of eternal happiness, this aged man caught the attention of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus approached him and said, "Sir, it puzzles me to see you unhappy in a place that knows no sadness. What ails you to look back at Earth with such bitterness?" The old man replied, "I was a carpenter in a previous life. By divine intervention, I was granted a son of my very own. I cherished every moment I shared with him. Then one day, he was missing. I searched everywhere and I failed to find him. Before I died, I wasn't able to know where he is. I wonder what he is doing now. I wonder if he still remembers me." 

Jesus was in tears and asked him, "Father?"

With tears of joy, the old man lovingly embraced Jesus, and said, "Pinocchio!"

Kangaroo in the Zoo

There was a kangaroo who roams the zoo at night. Upon knowing that the kangaroo jumps very high, the zoo keepers built a 10 feet tall fence for it. The next day, they found the kangaroo roaming the zoo. So, they built it a 20 feet tall fence. The next day, the kangaroo was out again. When the fence was being built at 40 feet tall, the camel in the next cage asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?"

The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night."

(Silly old zoo keepers.)
