Each Friday night after work ole Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill
and cook a venison steak right out of the meat supply in his freezer.
Most all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic. And when Lent occurred
every spring, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. Well
during Lent the delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks caused
such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their
Priest.
The Priest came to visit Bubba, and after a few minutes he suggested
that Bubba become a Catholic. Bubba thought that was a wonderful
idea. And after many classes and much study, Bubba attended his first
Mass. As the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were
born a Baptist, and you were raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic.
Bubba's neighbors were greatly impressed and relieved by Bubba's
conversion until the first Friday night of Lent arrived. The wonderful
aroma of grilled venison again filled the entire neighborhood. The Priest
was called immediately by the disgruntled neighbors, and as the Priest
rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him,
the Priest 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."
