I knew you'd already been baptized. In fact you've explicitly said as much here before (you being baptized as a Catholic, and raised Methodist, IIRC). But then I'm pretty sure most of these pilgrims have been baptized back home as well. [Many] [observant] Jews go to "ritual baths" on a semi-regular basis, some only for major holidays, some every friday - for the Sabbath, and some even go daily. So I guess maybe some Christians also do so, more than once, especially when visiting such a place as the bona fide River Jordan. Baptism, ain't exactly something I'm an expert on. :-) Always wondered why, even for this, Christians needed an assisting clergy.
This joke sort of summarized my bemusement by the whole baptism practice.
