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 fora 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?"
