A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river.
He proceeds to walk down into the water with his suit on and stand next to the Preacher. The minister turns and notices the 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 my son?" the preacher asks.
"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 now embarrassed & in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 second and the folks waiting to be baptized start to worry
The preacher brings him out of the water and this time says in a harsh tone,
"MY GOD!, HAVE YOU FOUND JESUS YET!!???"
The drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher...
"Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
