A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he
comes upon a
preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk walks
into the water
and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher
turns around and
is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks
the drunk,
'Are you ready to find Jesus?'
'Yes I am' replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs
him and dunks him in
the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother
have you found
Jesus?'
The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't.' The
preacher, shocked at the answer,
dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this
time. He pulls
him out of the water and asks again, 'Have you found
Jesus, my brother?'
The drunk again answers, 'No, I have not found
Jesus.' By this time the
preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in
the
water again,
but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds. When
the drunk
begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him
up. The
preacher asks the drunk again, 'For the love of God,
have you found
Jesus?'
The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to
the
preacher, 'Are you sure this is where he fell in?'
