John Smith was the only Protestant to move into a large Catholic
neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big
juicy steak on his grill.
Meanwhile, all of his neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper.
This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday of Lent, the
neighborhood men got together and decided that something had to be done
about John, he was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent, and they
couldn't take it anymore.
They decided to try and convert John to be a Catholic. They went over and
talked to him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbors
and become a Catholic. They took him to church, and the Priest sprinkled
some water over him and said, "You were born a Baptist, you
were raised a Baptist, and now you are a Catholic."
The men were so relieved, now their biggest Lenten temptation was
resolved. The next year's Lenten season rolled around. The first Friday of
Lent came, and just at supper time, when the neighborhood was sitting
down to their tuna fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on
a grill.
The neighborhood men could not believe their noses! WHAT WAS GOING ON?
They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see
if he had forgotten it was the first Friday of Lent?
The group arrived just in time to see John standing over his grill with a
small pitcher of water. He was sprinkling some water over his steak on the
grill, saying, "You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now
you are a fish."
