Baptizing a drunk ... Thanks John Bob!

Robert,




I hope no preachers see this except the ones I am bcc'ing.



This one is almost like the days Gus Thompson preached in the old minstrel wagon in Mound Park. Preacher Gus said at the end of his unserious and funny sermon: "If I had my way, they would take all of the licquor in Portsmouth and throw it into the Ohio river. Now, Mr,. Lakeman, please lead our congregation in song." Choir Director Gib raised his hands and said: "Let us sing: "Shall we gather at the river." It is an old one but I believe it started with Gus and Gib (old Trojan war horses) in Mound Park.

Baptizing A Drunk

A man is stumbling through the

woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the

river.

The drunk walks into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The

preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze.

Whereupon he

asks the drunk, 'Are

you ready to find Jesus?'



'Yes I am'replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs

him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother

have you found Jesus?'



The drunk replies, 'No, I

haven't.'The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water

again, but for a

bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have

you

found Jesus, my brother?'



The drunk again answers, 'No, I

have not found Jesus.'

By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he 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 asks the drunk again, 'For the

love of God, have you found Jesus?'



The

drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the

preacher,



'Are you sure this is where he fell

in?'
