Baptizing a Drunk

A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes

upon a preacher baptizing people in the river.

He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher.

The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of

alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk,

"Are you ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk answers, "Yes, I am." So the preacher grabs him and dunks

him in the water.

He pulls him up and asks the drunk, "Brother have you found Jesus?"

The drunk replies, "No, I haven't found Jesus."

The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again

for a little longer.

He again pulls him out of the water and asks again, "Have you found

Jesus my brother?"

The drunk again answers, "No, I haven't found Jesus."

By this time, the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in

the water again, but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds.

When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, he pulls him up. The

preacher, again, asks the drunk, "For the love of God, have you found

Jesus?"

The drunk wipes his eyes, catches his breath and says to the preacher,

"Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
