Baptizing A Drunk
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 I n 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?'

And then there's the one about...
A newly retired pilot was walking down the street, on his way to a retired helicopter pilots breakfast, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for a meal.
The retired pilot took out his wallet, extracted a twenty dollar bill and asked the guy, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of food?"
"No, I had to stop drinking many years ago when I was a pilot," the homeless man replied.
"You were once a pilot?"n

"You were once a pilot?"n
"Yes," the homeless man replied. "I flew for 12 years, until I was fired for drinking on duty and I lost my retirement after wrecking an aircraft the same day."
“Will you use this $20 to only buy donuts and coffee instead of buying nutritious food?" "No, I don't waste time with sugary foods," the homeless man said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive and eat as well as I can."
"Will you spend this $20 on greens fees at a golf course instead of good food?" "Are you nuts?" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf in 20 years since I was fired from the company."
“Will you spend the money on a woman over in the red light Tenderloin District instead of buying good food?" “What disease would I get for a lousy twenty bucks? I hate hookers!" exclaimed the homeless man.
“Well," said the retired pilot, "I'm not going to give you the money now. Instead, I'm going to take you to a terrific pilot’s breakfast around the corner and get you to tell the retired pilots your story, and then you get the money."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't these fellows be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty and I probably smell pretty disgusting, man."
The newly retired pilot replied, "That's okay. It's important for them all to see what a pilot looks like after he has given up beer, donuts, golf and sex."

As You Slide Down the Banister of Life -- Remember:

It's all about priorities
One day a man decided to retire.
He booked himself on aCaribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his
life, that is, until the ship sank.
He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing,
only bananas and coconuts.
After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous
woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.
In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when
my fishing boat sank."
"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with
you."
"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. " I made the boat out of some raw material
I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the
bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from an Eucalyptus
tree."
"But, where did you get the tools?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. " On the south side of the island,
a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it
to a certain temperature in a volcanic vent I found just down island, it melted
into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the
hardware."
The guy is stunned.
"Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a
short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small hand built wharf. As
the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat.
Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house.
While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man
can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says
casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down."
"Would you like a drink?"
"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop
of coconut juice."
"Oh, it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you
like a Jack Daniels neat?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on
her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the
woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you
like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet
upstairs."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There,
in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed
to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.
"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but a bandana around her blonde
locks and some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she
smelled faintly of coconut oil. She then beckons for him to sit down next to
her.
"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been
out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you
had a really good ride? She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean." he swallows excitedly as tears
start to form in his eyes, "You've built a Harley?"
