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 neighbors were Catholic....and
>since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The
>delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was 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 neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and
>the
>wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The
>Priest was called immediately by the neighbors 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 is a catfish."
