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 filled the neighborhood.
The Priest was called immediately by the
neighbors, and, as he rushed into Bubba's yard,
clutching a rosary and prepared 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 a
catfish. |
