Baptizing a drunk
> 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 this time. 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?
