ONCE THERE WAS A JEW WHO LIVED NEXT TO A CATHOLIC
And on Friday the Jewish man would take a cook his chickens on the grill in preparation for the Holy Sabbath Friday Night festive meal. Next door lived a Catholic man who would be cooking his fish because he could not have meat on Friday. And this torturous ritual continued for years until the Catholic could take it no longer. He went and consulted with the priest and the priest responded that there was one one thing they could do – Convert the Jew to Catholicism.
So they sat down and crafted a plan. They got rope, a net, and other implement and scouted out a location near the river where the Jewish man passed frequently. There brought all their gear, laid it out, hid in the bushes waiting for the Jewish man to pass by. As soon as he came they jumped on him, dragged him down to the river, grabbed the Jewish man by the neck and dunked him into the cold murky waters while reciting multiple times “You were born a Jew. You lived as a Jew. And now you are a Catholic!”. After several dunkings and a lot of struggles they toweled him off and took him home.

A week passed and the Catholic man approaches the fence and smells the marvelous smell of chickens on the barbeque. The Catholic man and priest look at each other in bewilderment and say “He is a Catholic now. He can’t have meat or chicken on Friday”. They then see the formerly Jewish man taking the chickens, putting them on the barbeque and recites several times “You were born a chicken. You lived as a chicken. Now you are a fish!”
