Born a Baptist:
Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and
cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba's neighbours were Catholic.... and
since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The
delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks were causing such a problem
for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest. The
Priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic. After
several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass.....and as the priest
sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and
raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."
Bubba's neighbours were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and
the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighbourhood. The
Priest was called immediately by the neighbours and as he rushed into
Bubba's yard clutching a rosary preparing to scold him, he stopped and
watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he
carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz born a
deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you are a fish...."
