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?"
