Baptizing a Drunk

A man is stumbling through 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,
overcome by the smell of alcohol, and 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 into the water again for a
little longer this time.  He again pulls the drunk out of the water and
asks, "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 in the
water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds.  When the
drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up.  The
preacher again asks the drunk, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?"

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