Bubba-Joe and Lent
Each Friday night after work, Bubba-Joe would fire up his
outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba-Joe'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-Joe and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study,
Bubba-Joe 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-Joe's neighbors were greatly relieved, until
Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and as he rushed into Bubba-Joe's yard clutching a rosary preparing to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba-Joe, 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."
Thats my brother Bubba-Joe fur ya.:D
