Funny you should have mentioned a BLT I have a little humor concerning BLT's
I hope no one takes offence to this one, don't worry you can tell me Catholic jokes all day and I won't get mad!
Here is the story...(Not written by me) :notme:
Relatives of ours were coming for New Years, and we were having, that's right, HAM. We make a killer ham, and it's something everyone looks forward to, so no backing out. So we were going to make a rack of ribs for the family that was planning to stop by.
Unfortunately some Jewish people won't even have anything that was cooked on the same BBQ as pork. So that meant that BBQ'ing anything else for them was also out.
But just a quick story, my family knew a Jewish Rabbi (Orthodox and VERY in keeping with Kosher eating) who went to some local deli and ordered a BLT (having no idea what it was). After a very long time (at least a year for sure) he mentioned to someone how he just loved having these BLT's down at the deli, and someone finally told him what was in it. For a year he was eating it not realizing it was bacon!
Poor Rabbi!!!
And now I will give you a Catholic/Baptist joke: (also not written by me)
ONCE A BAPTIST---- ALWAYS A BAPTIST -- Until ...
John Smith was the only Protestant to move into a large Catholic neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big juicy steak on his grill. Meanwhile, all of his neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper.
This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday of Lent, the neighborhood men got together and decided that something had to be done about John, he was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent, and they couldn't take it anymore. They decided to try and convert John to be a Catholic. They went over and talked to him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbors and become a Catholic.
They took him to Church, and the Priest sprinkled some water over him, and said,
"You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, and now you are a Catholic."
The men were so relieved, now their biggest Lenten temptation was resolved.
The next year's Lenten season rolled around. The first Friday of Lent came, and just at supper time, when the neighborhood was setting down to their tuna fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on a grill. The neighborhood men could not believe their noses!
WHAT WAS GOING ON? They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see if he had forgotten it was the first Friday of Lent. The group arrived just in time to see John standing over his grill with a small pitcher of water. He was sprinkling some water over his steak on the grill, saying,
"You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish."
God Bless you guys (also is there is reason I shouldn't type out the name God I have noticed alot of you type G-D, if it is disrespectful to type of His name please let me know I NEVER want to disrespect Him!)
Love ya everyone!
