[Histonet] FW: Redneck Lent

[Lesley Weston]

It is indeed a joke, an oldie but a goodie. I first heard it years ago about the Medieval Portuguese Jews who converted to Christianity as the only alternative to death at the hands of the Inquisition. The Bishop made a surprise visit to a "convert's" house during Friday-night-supper, so the householder sprinkled water on the roast chicken, saying "You're fish, you're fish, you're fish."

> 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.

> 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.
