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."
