Baptizing a Drunk (from a coworker)

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?'
