My babtism story(this really happened)
Once upon a time, a few years ago, I lived in a ratty apartment
across the street from a catholic college. One afternoon, I was
hanging around in my living room' minding my own business.
There was a knock on my door.
I answered it.
Standing there, in the spring sunlight, were three exchange
students from Korea. Two guys and a girl. They beamed their big beamy
smiles at me. They looked so cute and wholesome, I felt an urge to
put on a pointy hat and throw them into oven.
But I didn't.
They asked if they could come in and talk about God, and since
I was bored out of my mind, and they were still beaming at me, I said
"Sure, why not?"
So we sat around and they talked about God, and Jesus, and
Salvation, and all sorts of groovy stuff, and I sat there, undressing
the girl with my eyes, and we were all having a great time, and they
got to the punch line.
They asked if they could babtise me.
In my kitchen sink.
I told them I had been babtised when I was a baby, and they said
that didn't count, since it wasn't a decision on my part, and I agreed
with that in principle, but I didn't what to do it, but they really
wanted to do it...
I threw them out.
Twenty minutes later, there's a knock on my door.
It was Dave, my upstairs neighbor.
His hair was soaked.
