Redneck Lent

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 talk ed
> 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.
