you are a walleye

[StripinLine]

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.
