Grilling On Fridays

"The Delusion"

Perhaps you've heard of the man who thought
he was dead, when in reality he was very much
alive. His delusion became such a problem
that his family finally paid for him to see a
psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist spent many laborious sessions
trying to convince the man he was still alive.
Nothing seemed to work.

Finally the doctor tried one last approach. He
took out his medical books and proceeded to
show the patient that dead men don't bleed.

After hours of tedious study, the patient seemed
convinced that dead men don't bleed.

"Do you now agree that dead men don't bleed?"
the doctor asked.

"Yes, I do." The patient replied.

"Very well, then," the doctor said. He took out
a pin and pricked the patient's finger.

Out came a trickle of blood.

The doctor asked, "What does 'that' tell you?" "

Oh wow!" the patient exclaimed as he stared
incredulously at his finger.

"Dead men 'do' bleed!"

"Grilling On Fridays"

Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up
his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But,
all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic ..

And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from
eating meat on Friday. 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 Bubba, and suggested
he become a Catholic. After several classes and
much study, Bubba attended Mass ... And as the
Priest sprinkled Holy Water over him, he said,
"You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist,
but now you are a Catholic."

Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until
Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma
of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood.

The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors
and as he rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a
rosary prepared to scold him, he stopped and
watched in amazement.

There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of
holy water he carefully sprinkled over the grilling
meat and chanted: "You wuz born a deer, you
wuz raised a deer, but now you'se a catfish!"
