Redneck Lent

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".
