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 nights 
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 hiccuped 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?"
