"John the Catholic" joke

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 setting down to their cold 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."
