A soldier and his wife were preparing for the baptismal party of their baby girl when the chaplain arrived for the Baptism.

Taking the father aside, the priest asked, “Are you prepared spiritually for this religious event?”

“Well, I don’t know, Father,” said the soldier thoughtfully. “But would two bottles of whiskey and two cases of beer be enough?”

Those were different “spirits,” of course. The chaplain was telling the soldier that the sacrament of Baptism is not just a drinking party but a religious occasion.
