Paddy is stumbling along the road, 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 and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk,”Are you ready to find Jesus?”

Paddy answers, “Yes, I am.”

So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water.

He pulls him up and asks the drunk, “Tell us Brother have you found
Jesus?

The drunk replies, “No. No I haven’t found Jesus.”

The preacher is shocked at the answer, so he quickly dunks him into the water again for a little longer.

When he pulls him out of the river he asks him again, “Have you found Jesus yet my brother?”

Paddy again answers, “No sir, 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 holds him down for about 30 seconds and when he begins kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up.

The preacher then again asks the drunk, “For the love of God have you found Jesus, my brother?”

The drunken Paddy chokes and coughs and wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the Preacher, “Are you sure this is where he fell in?”
