A little levity to help the summer heat :)

At a local river a Pentecostal pastor was holding a Sunday morning 
baptism service, saying a couple quick words, dipping folks in, 
submerging them, pulling them back up and each confirming their faith 
with some small word of acknowledgement. A man stumbling home from 
the previous night's revelry, yet intoxicated, happened his way into 
line. Finally, he made his way up to the front of the line to the 
preacher. The preacher, happy to see a new face in line, spoke a few 
quick words,  dunked the man under, pulled him up and said, "Have you 
found Jesus?"

The drunken man, a little taken back, said, "No, sir, I haven't". The 
preacher, not sure what to do with the response, dunked the man under 
again, holding him under a little longer than the first time , pulled 
him back up and asked, "Have you found Jesus?"

The man, a little more swaggered from the experience, hiccupped and 
stammered, "No, ah hiccup, no, I haven't".

The preacher was getting a bit irritated with the responses, grabbed 
the man, dunked him under and held him down for nearly a full minute, 
yanked him back up and said, "For the  love of God, man, have you 
found Jesus?"

The man looked at the preacher and said,

"Um, hiccup, No. Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
