The inebriated
man answers, "Yesh, I am."
So the preacher
grabs him and dunks him in the water.
He pulls him
up and asks him,
"Brother have
you found Jesus?"
The drunken man 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
him out of the water and asks again,
"Have you found
Jesus my brother?"
The man again answers, "No, I haven't found Jesus."
By this time the
preacher is at his wits end
and dunks him
in the water again
--but this time
holds him down for about 30 seconds
and when he begins
kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up.
The preacher
in a louder voice again asks him,
"For the love
of God, have you found Jesus?"
The drunken man
wipes his eyes, catches his breath
and says to the
preacher......
"Are you
sure this is where he fell in?"
