Just wanted to tell a funny story. I was mailing a package yesterday and the girls in the "Goin' Postal" store were talking about what they were going to eat for lunch. The Owners are Catholic. One of the girls piped up and said, "I can eat meat today, I'm not Catholic."  |
Reminds me of a joke I heard years ago......
A non-Catholic man moved into a predominantly Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday, during Lent, he would grill steaks. Well, the smell of the grilling steak would drive the neighbors crazy, and they got together to devise a plan to end this torture. They decided that the only way they could keep this from happening was to convert this gentleman to Catholicism.
They got together one night, went to his house, and for a full hour they shared with him the benefits of becoming a Catholic. Finally, he agreed, so the next day they took him to the church, and the priest began the ritual of baptizing him.
As the priest sprinkled the holy water on the new convert, he said, "You were born a Protestant, you were raised a Protestant, but NOW you're a Catholic"!
The neighbors were happy that their olfactory sense would not be assailed any longer by the aroma of grilling T-bones whilst they were having to satiate their appetites on fish.
So, the next Friday, as the neighbors were arriving home, imagine their chagrin to smell, once again, the delicious aroma of steak wafting thru the neighborhood.
As they ran over to the man's house to inform him as to the error of his ways, rounding the corner, they saw the gentleman with a shaker of seasoning, sprinkling his steaks, saying "You were born a steer, you were raised a steer, but NOW you're a fish!"
