Boudreaux, a Cajun, was an older, single gentleman, who was born and raised a Baptist, living in South Louisiana . Each Friday night after work, >he would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. Now, all of >Boudreaux's neighbors were Catholic... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays. 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 >Boudreaux, and suggested that Boudreaux convert to Catholicism
After several classes and much study, Boudreaux 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 >Catholic."
Boudreaux'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 Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, >he stopped in amazement and watched. There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of water which he carefully sprinkled over the >grilling meat, and chanted :
"You wuz born a deer, and you wuz raised a deer, but now you are a....catfish. "
