Baptism
-------------------------


A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the
river. He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the
Preacher.

The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, Are you
ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, Preacher... I sure am."

The minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back
up. "Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asked.

"No, I didn't!" said the drunk.

The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and
says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?"

"No, I did not Reverend."

The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this
time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, "My Good man,
have you found Jesus yet?"

The old drunk wipes his eyes and asks the preacher... "Are you sure this is
where he fell in?"
