Baptising The Drunk

A man, probably from Munruben or Wallan, totally
drunk, is stumbling through the bush, when he comes
upon a preacher baptising people in the river.

Our man from Munruben/Wallen proceeds to walk into
the water and bumps into the preacher who turns around
and is almost overcome by the small of alcohol. The
preacher asks, "Are you ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk answers, "Yes, I am."

The preacher grabs our lad and dunks him in the water,
pulls him up and asks, "Brother, have you found Jesus?"

Our lad replied, "No, I haven't."

The preacher, shocked by the answer, dunks him again
for a little longer and asks, "Have you found Jesus my
brother?"

Our lad again replies, "No, I haven't found Jesus."

By this the preacher is at his wits end and dunks our lad
again, but this time he holds him under for for a lengthy
period and when he begins to kick and struggle, he lets
him up and asks, "For the love of God, have you found
Jesus?"

Our lad wipes his eyes, catches his breath and says to
the preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

Heard it a few years ago, but this is a better rendition. And a keeper.
