The Baptism

A pyrate is stumbling along the beach totally drunk when he comes upon a vicar baptizing people in the sea. The pyrate walks into the water and subsequently bumps into the vicar, who upon turning around and is almost overcome by the smell of rum. Whereupon he asks the drunk, 'Are you ready to find Jesus?'
'Yes I am' replies the besotted buccaneer, so the vicar grabs him and dunks him in the sea.

He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother have ye found Jesus?'
Gasping the pyrate replies, 'No, I haven't.'

Vicar, 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 vicar is at his wits end, so he dunks the pyrate in the water again, but this time he holds him down for nearly two minutes. 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 feller, have ye found Jesus?'

The pore pyrate wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says,
'Vicar,are ye sure this is where he fell in??!!'
