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
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.'
