Standing waist deep in the flowing river the minister says to the person about to be baptised " I will baptise you by placing you under water where you will see the lord and having seen the lord you will have been baptised and be a member of the flock"
The guy gets dunked for about ten seconds and when he is out of the water the minister says " Did you see the lord?" " No" says the guy. The minister again plunges him underwater for 20 seconds and lifts him out and asks " Did you see the lord?" " No" sdays the guy. Again he gets plunged under water and this time for 30 seconds. "Did you see the lord?" Says the minister. "No" says the guy getting somewhat exasperated. The minister again plunges him under the water and this time for a full minute. The guy comes up spluttering and the minister asks him "DID YOU SEE THE LORD??"
" No" said the guy, " Are you sure he fell in here?"
