Baptism

Baptizing A Drunk



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?

That joke is older than you, brother dear. Man, I can't believe that joke is THAT old!

I've never heard that before.



That is what I get for living in a castle that most peeps are afraid to go to.
