The drunk and the preacher - YDG
From Matt. - tj
------------------------
A man is stumbling thru 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 in 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 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?"
