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 pulls him out of the water
and asks again, "Have you found Jesus my brother?"
"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 and
when he 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 and catches his breath and
says to the preacher "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
