Ready To Find Jesus

"Rescue"*

*A man had fallen between the rails in a subway
station. People were all crowding around trying
to get him out before the train ran him over. They were all shouting.

"Give me your hand!" but the man would not reach up.

Mulla Nasrudin elbowed his way through the crowd
and leaned over the man. "Friend," he asked, "what is your profession?"

"I am an income tax inspector," gasped the man.

"In that case," said Nasrudin, "take my hand!"

The man immediately grasped the Mulla's hand and
was hauled to safety. Nasrudin turned to the amazed
by-standers and declared, "Never ask a tax man to
*give* you anything, you fools!"

"Ready To Find Jesus"*

*A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on
Sunday afternoon down by the river.

He proceeds to walk down into the water and
stand next to the preacher. The minister turns
and notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, Preacher, I sure am."

The minister then dunks the fellow under the
water and pulls him right back up. "Have you found Jesus?" the preacher
asked.

"Nooo, I didn't!" said the drunk.

The preacher then dunks him under for quite a
bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?"

"Noooo, I have not, Reverend."

The preacher in disgust holds the man under for
at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of
the water and says in a harsh tone, "My G~d, man, have you found Jesus yet?"

The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher, "Are you sure
this is where he fell in?"
