Humour Break On Baptism

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

A man walking along the side of a river came upon a group performing baptisms. The cleric looked and yelled " You are saved! " At this point four burly men came forward dragging struggling yelling the man to the water.

The cleric plunged the man under the cold water holding for a moment and brought him uo asking " Do you believe? " Just as the man was to answer he was plunged down again.

Being held a little longer he was brought up once again sputtering and the cleric again asked " Do you believe? " The man looked imploringly and said " I do " at which point he was thrust once again into the waters.

Held down for almost a full minute while the cleric prayed for the cleansing of another soul he drew the man up who was coughing and spitting out amounts of trapped water.

" DO YOU BELIEVE" was asked a third time. The man yelled back " I BELIEVE YOU s.o.b. ARE TRYING TO DROWN ME!! "

Jean, here is another one on Baptism:

at a certain parish baptisms were being performed, but the priest forgot the name of one of the babies; too embarrased to ask the parents he very carefully touched the baby between its legs and then he was going to procede: JOSEPH, i baptize you... then the god- fahter said angrily: it is JOSEPHINE, you stupid, what you touched was my little finger.
