Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Wednesday Funny

 

BAPTISING AN IRISHMAN

An Irish man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk proceeds into the water, subsequently bumping into the preacher.
The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon, he asks the drunk, "Are you ready to find Jesus?"
The drunk shouts, "Yes, oi am."
So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him back and asks, "Brother, have you found Jesus?"
The drunk replies, "No, oi haven't found Jesus!"
The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him again but for a little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks, "Have you found Jesus, me brother?"
The drunk answers, "No, oi haven't found Jesus!"
By this time, the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk again -- but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds, and when he begins kicking his arms and legs about, he pulls him up.
The preacher again asks the drunk, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?"

 

 


(get ready for this.....)

The drunk staggers upright, wipes his eyes, coughs up a bit of water, catches his breath, and says to the preacher,***
"Are you sure this is where he fell in"?

About the Irish - I am now reading a book that came out some years ago. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Tells his story about growing up very poor in Ireland. What an interesting read. When done I will download on my Kindle his follow-up book 'Tis.

Love the Irish jokes..Our son and his wife were married on Dingle Peninsula in Ireland in 2007, and they go back often.

Always look forward to the Wednesday funny. You were so right we should have turned left and gone down I-49 south, got over 6 inches of snow here in central Iowa.

Yup, I loved Angela's Ashes and I'm almost done 'Tis. I'll be sure to read the other Frank McCourt book you recommended. Thanks.
