Humor for the Day

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 fixing fish.  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.”  They 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 dinner time,  when the neighborhood was sitting down to their fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on the grill. The neighborhood men could not believe their noses!  WHAT WAS GOING ON?  They called each other up and decided to meet over at John’s place 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.”
