Default Bubba and Lent

To all my Catholic friends--and others 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 wonderfu l aroma of grilled venison
again filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately bythe neighbors and as he rushed into Bubba's yard clutching a rosary
preparing to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.

There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which hecarefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz borna deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."
