Jewish 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 night. 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 B-B-Q cooking
steak. He is sprinkling water on the meat and saying:
"Born a cow
Raised a cow
Now a fish."
