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 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?"
