Two guys were out fishing one day, as they were about to hop in the boat, a man in flowing robes walked over to them and said ' I am Jesus, the lamb of God. Go forth and spread the word that I have returned.'
The first guy says 'How do we know you are Jesus and not some escapee from the loony-bin?'
'Yeah,' the other pipes up, 'If your jesus, prove it! Walk on water for us.'
'If that is what I must do to make believers out of you' jesus replied, 'then so be it. Take me out to the middle of the lake in your boat, and I will walk back to shore.'
The guys load Jesus into the boat and take him to the middle of the lake. Jesus stands up, and says 'Now watch, and believe.' and steps off the boat where he sinks like a rock. The fishermen pull him back into the boat and jesus says, ok, ok, ok, gimme one more try, its been a couple thousand years since I've done this.' So he regains his composure, stands back up, and with a quick prayer, steps off the boat again...and sinks like a rock again. After the two fishermen pull him gasping and choking back into the boat, jesus looks up at them and says ' god damn! this was a lot fucking easier before I got these holes in my feet!'
