[Rhodes22-list] Minnesota Joke

[salm at mn.rr.com]

Eino, a Finlander 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 Eino's neighbors were Catholic.....and since it was Lent,
they
were prohibited 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 Eino,
and
suggested that Eino convert to Catholicism.
After several classes and much study, Eino attended Mass.....and as the
priest sprinkled holy water over Eino, he said, "You were born a
Lutheran
and raised a Lutheran, but now you are Catholic."
Eino'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 Eino's yard,
clutching a rosary and prepared to scold Eino, he stopped in amazement
and
watched......
There stood Eino, 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! "
