“Finding Jesus”
A drunk stumbles across an evangelical baptismal service on a Sunday afternoon
down by the river. He proceeds to walk into the water and stand next to the
preacher, in the way that only drunks can.
The minister 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 dunks the guy under the water and pulls him right back up.
"Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asks.
"Nooo, 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?"
"Noooo, I have 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 God, man, have
you found Jesus yet?"
The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher, "Are you sure this
is where he fell in?"
