Looking for Jesus

An old man stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The old drunk, wanting to be friendly, walks into the water bumping into the preacher. The preacher turns around, overcome by the smell of booze, grabs the drunk, and asks him, 'Are you ready to find Jesus?'' Yes, I certainly am' replies the drunk, so the preacher lifts him up and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the old drunk, 'Brother did you find Jesus?' The drunk replies, 'No, I surely didn'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 mostly 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 a minute. Well, the old drunk man begins kicking and flailing his arms and legs, and the preacher pulls him up. Then the preacher asks the drunk again, 'For the love of God man, did you find Jesus this time?' The drunk wipes his eyes, catches his breath and says slurringly to the preacher, 'You sure this is where he fell in?
