My friend Bubba, was the best cook in town. Every Friday, he made the best venison barbeque anyone ever tasted.
But then came Lent, and throughout the town, all anyone could smell was the delicious aroma of Bubba's venison barbeque. The Catholics loved Bubba's barbeque, but were so tempted during Lent, that they spoke to the local priest.
"We love Bubba's barbequed venison, Father, but it's too much tempation during Lent. Could you please speak to him?" And the Priest agreed he would speak to Bubba.
The Priest met with Bubba and said, "Bubba, everyone in town agrees, that you make the best venison barbeque around. But it's Lent, and Catholics aren't allowed to eat meat on Fridays, so they've asked you not cook barbeque venison on Friday."
Bubba said, "But Father, I'm not a Catholic." The Priest thought about it and said, "Well, how about I convert you to Catholicism?" Bubba thought about it and said, "Well sure, if it would make everyone happy, no problem."
So the Priest indoctrinated Bubba into the ways of Catholicism, and after a week, it was time to baptise Bubba into his new faith.
"You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, now....you're a Catholic." Bubba was so happy to be part of the new faith, and making the town happy.
The next week, the townfolk noticed the familiar scent of Bubba's delicious venison barbeque. They found it insufferable, the temptation, and asked the priest to once again speak to Bubba.
So the Priest went to Bubba, and said, "Bubba, you know, you're now a Catholic, and on Fridays, Catholics don't eat meat. I thought we covered this." Bubba, dismayed that he had let down his new found brethren, looked down at the venison barbeque he was cooking and said,
"You were born a deer. You were raised a deer, now....you're a fish."
