I, personally, found the joke very funny. I find a lot of distasteful jokes funny - I actually prefer them over anything clean. That does not take away the fact that discussing religion, or politics (with humor or in any other form) has no place in the workplace. Histonet is, in many ways, an extension of the workplace. I also do not discuss religion or politics with strangers, and there certainly are more strangers that read this blog than folks we know. While I was not personally offended by that joke, it is very conceivable to think that some folks would be offended.

As I told one replier - had this joke been about Jews it would have been something folks reacted to harshly. And, for good reason. So we cannot joke about Jews or Muslims, but Catholics are fine? I respectfully disagree - ALL religions and posts of humor in reference to a religion on a public listserv is a terrible idea.

And, incidentally, this support for those that could be offended is coming from me - a person that thinks ALL religion is a joke in the first place.

For goodness sakes!  It is a joke.  First of all it was accidently sent to HistoNet per Joseph's second email.  But most of all can't we just loosen up a bit and laugh at/with each other?  Every religion, race, gender, etc. has had jokes made about it.   Give the guy a break.

Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all of





Bubba's neighbors were Catholic. And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.


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 Bubba, and suggested that he become a Catholic.

After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass...and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."

Bubba'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 Bubba's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.

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



Blessings, love and light, "Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly."
