Before performing a baptism, the pastor approached the young

father and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious step. Are

you prepared for it?"

"I think so," the man replied. "My wife has made appetizers

and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and

cakes for all of our guests."

"I don`t mean that," the pastor responded. "I mean, are you

prepared spiritually?"

"Oh, sure," came the reply. "I`ve got a keg of beer and a

case of whiskey." (A Funny Stuff, http://www.afunnystuff.com/jokes/Religious-jokes/Baptism-preparations.html)
