To all friends, whatever your religeon....this is so funny.
Lars--a Norwegian from Cook County in northern Minnesota -- was an =
older, single gentleman who was born and raised a Lutheran. Each Friday =
night after work, he would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison =
steak.
Now, all of Lars'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 Lars, and suggested that Lars convert to =
Catholicism. After several classes and much study, Lars attended =
Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over Lars, he said, "You =
were born a Lutheran and raised a Lutheran, but now you are Catholic."
Lars'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 Lars's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold =
Lars, he stopped in amazement and watched......
There stood Lars, clutching a small bottle of water which he =
carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat, and chanted: "You were born =
a deer, and raised a deer, but now you are a walleye.
