Baptizing A Drunk

A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a
preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk walks into the water
and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and
is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the drunk,
"Are you ready to find Jesus?"

"Yes I am" replies the drunk , so the preacher grabs him and dunks him
in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, "Brother have you
found Jesus?"

The drunk replies, "No, I haven't." The preacher, shocked at the
answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time.
He pulls him out of the water and asks again, "Have you found Jesus,
my brother?"

The drunk again answers, "No, I have not found Jesus."
By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in
the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 60 seconds.

When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him
up. The preacher asks the drunk again, "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?"
