The perils of drink
A man is stumbling along totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptising 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, annoyed 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 sputters a bit and 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 flailing his arms and legs he pulls him up.
The preacher again asks the drunk, ''For the love of God, have you found Jesus?''
The sputtering drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher, ''Are you sure this is where he******* fell in?
