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
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 prepared to scold him, he stopped and
watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of
holy water he carefully sprinkled over the grilling
meat and chanted: "You wuz born a deer, you
wuz raised a deer, but now you'se a catfish!"
