A joke from a moving guy

So one of the guys that was loading our stuff into the moving truck told me a funny joke today.

A hobo was walking out in the country and saw a bunch of people gathered around the bank of a river. He couldn't tell what was going on, so he went over for a closer look. As he got closer he could see there was a preacher out in the water, so he tried to get a better look. As he got closer he could see that the preacher was baptizing the people one by one in the river, but the hobo didn't know much about religion or christianity. So he was watching for a second and the Preacher pointed to him and said, "You, come on down here into the river." The hobo wasn't sure who the preacher was pointing at, so he looked around him and said, "Who, me?" The preacher said, "Yes, come on down here into the water." So the hobo slowly walked down into the river not sure what was going on. When he got down there with water almost up to his shoulders and stood next to the preacher, the preacher grab the hair on the back of his head and pushed him down in the water. Then just as quickly, pulled him back up and said, "Do you see Jesus!" The hobo with water in his eyes, spit some water out of his mouth and said, "No, I don't see him." So the preacher grabbed him by the hair on the back of his head, pushed him down in the water, pulled him back up and yelled a little louder, "Do you see Jesus!" The hobo, with water in his eyes, took a breath and said, "No, I don't see him." So a third time, the Preacher grabbed his hair pushed him down in the water, held him there for a second while the hobo struggled back and forth, pulled him up and yelled, "Do you see Jesus!" And the hobo said, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

Moving

Moving is kind of a lot of work sometimes, but unfortunately, there just isn't a convenient way to live a nomadic life these days.
