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 is a catfish.
