Boudreaux, a Cajun highlander.

Boudreaux the Baptist
>>
>>Boudreaux, a Cajun highlander from Rapides Parish in central Louisiana,
>>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 a catfish."
