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 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 so he 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.
