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 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."
