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.
