Catholic Conversion
A Jewish man moves into a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday the
Catholics go crazy because, while they're morosely eating fish, the
Jew is outside barbecuing steaks. So the Catholics work on the Jew
to convert him.
Finally, by threats and pleading, the Catholics succeed. They take
the Jew to a priest who sprinkles holy water on the Jew and intones:
....."Born a Jew
......Raised a Jew
......Now a Catholic."
The Catholics are ecstatic. No more delicious, but maddening smells
every Friday evening. But the next Friday evening, the scent of
barbecue wafts through the neighborhood. The Catholics all rush to
the Jew's house to remind him of his new diet. They see him standing
over the cooking steak. He is sprinkling water on the meat and
saying:
....."Born a cow
......Raised a cow
......Now a fish."
