A Little Lent Humor

I got this in an email so don't know where it originated from but I did not make it up myself.

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."

Perhaps this struck me so funny because I had just finished reading "The Longest Trip Home" by John Grogan that told about his Catholic family in a humorous way.

NOTE: I think there was a problem with the commenting verification thing yesterday and the day before so I removed it. I really thought the video I posted yesterday would have received more comments . . . it's funny, did you watch it?

There was a problem with the comment form yesterday. I tried to leave a message but it did not work. I remember saying something about how spunky Spunky Doodle is! Harley likes to put his toys in the sink, in the water dish, in the food bowl...

I like the joke. The thought of deer meat makes me salivate.
