Born Lutheran

by Jodi

Each Friday night after work, Ole would fire up his outdoor grill on the shore of Big Stone Lake and cook venison steak. But all of Ole’s neighbors were Catholic and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating it.

The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks wafted over the neighborhood all the way to the next town and was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.

The Priest came to visit Ole, and suggested that he become a Catholic.  After several classes and much study, Ole attended Mass.  As the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Lutheran, and raised a Lutheran, but now you are a Catholic."

Ole's neighbors were relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood once again.  The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Ole's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched Ole in amazement.

There stood Ole, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You vuz born a deer, you vuz raised a deer, but now you is a walleye."

Korleis har du det?

Jodi said...

Good afternoon BEBBI, LYNN, & DEE DEE!!

I thought it was freakin' hilarious!! Being of Norwegian descent I have heard hundreds of Ole (or Ole & Lena) jokes. Also being that it is Lent, I thought it was an appropriate joke!!

DEE DEE....ummmm, even though I haven't stepped foot in my church for over 2 years, I do still recall that Catholics aren't allowed to eat meat on Fridays during Lent. That's why this is kinda funny, and also why you can find Fish Frys gallore on Fridays here in Wisconsin!!

DeeDee: What Jodi said. :) I know I have it.

Also, I found it funny for a few personal reasons that I am not ready to share and really you would not understand...! :) My warped sense of humor.

Bebbilane said...

Lynn: Have fun running! :) and hello!!

DeeDee..and HELLO!

Jodi, Is that all it takes? Used to be we (Catholics) couldn't eat meat on any Friday and it was easy to remember. Now that it is only the six Fridays in Lent, it usually takes about four Fridays to remember.

Jodi said...

BARB - Good thing I'm Lutheran....I'd be totally screwed ;)

sacBarb said...

I'm back from my Doctor appointment where I posted that other comment.

Bebbi, you look Bebbilicious today.

Lynn, Hope you are having a nice time with your friend.

DeeDee, Jodi has it right. This week will be the third Friday in Lent and so far I am 1 for 2. I have a plan, but my problem is remembering that it is Friday. Since I have retired, it is harder for me to keep track of the days of the week because I don't need to look forward to weekends for days off. :)

so a walleye is a fish.....

cute...I am laughing inside....which usually is a pretty good indication that I should head to the toto.....excusie...

Spreechen ski fish...the young man that works at the coveinence store I go to every night to get the DC is a sweet guy...We were discussing ice cream and he said he favorite was Hagen Daz Dulce de Leche....but it too expensive anymore...

So I thought I would get him some Hagen Daz while I was at WalMart....well they didn't have any Dulce de Leche so I got Banana Split...which I love and the next night I took it too him. He just thought that was the bee's knees so I was anxious to hear how he liked it when I went in the next night...

He said..."well..."that Hagen Daz sure was a disappointment"...

beg your pardon?

It didn't even have any pineapple chunks in it....he said.

I thought ...well I never! And I said "I was going to bring you some Dulce de Leche but I'm afraid it wouldn't have any MILK CHUNKS IN IT!

I thought now DeeDee don't get your feelings hurt...you know...he probably didn't know that you don't insult an act of kindness...

But he does ask a lot of advice from me so the next night I did explain that what he should have said was simply that he appreciated the thought....

well he got embarrassed and said well I just expected it to be fantastic! Especially coming from you!!

ok..that "especially coming from you" part made me realize that he looks up to me...I mean hell...its not everyday one gets to meet someone like me...much less get to be friends with me...soooo...

I picked up some Dulce de Leche and Bananas Foster for him...but I also bought a 72 cent can of sardines in mustard sauce which I shall give him tonight....so we can have a big laugh and I can make sure the banana split debacle is smoothed over....

He really is sweet...has a girlfriend that uses him and treats him badly...

I think he has potential...I have seen his work ethic in action and if I could just get him to tell me what he night be interested in doing (real job) I might be able to help him along his way. I talk to him all the time about planning for his financial future....he is 30 and its past time to get busy. Dump the girlfriend Brunhilda...her name is Arianna but I refer to her as Brunhilda and Grizabella.....

Why can't I just leave people alone!!

one more thing..the little bitch thru his laptop that he is making payments on...out the window in one of her fits and broke the screen...kicked him out...he slept in the back at the store...and she wanted him back when her $750 car payment was due....

I've told him to get me a piece of her hair so I can voodoo the whore!!

He thinks thats funny! I told him he should talk to Zona!! lol
