Redneck Lent

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

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.  The priest sprinkled holy water over him…. saying, “You were born
a Baptist; raised a Baptist; but now you are a Catholic.”

Bubba’s neighbors were greatly relieved…. until Friday night arrived.  Again, 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 – 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.”
