> 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.
