Each Friday night after work, Heikki would fire up his outdoor grill on the shore of Rainy Lake, and cooked venison steak. But all of Heikki'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 wafted over Lake Linden, all the way to Bootjack, and was causing a major problem for the Catholic faithful....that they finally talked to their Priest.
The Priest decided to visit Heikki, and suggested he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Heikki attended Mass...and the Priest sprinkled holy water over him and said "You were born a Lutheran, and were raised a Lutheran, but now you are a Catholic."
Heikki's neighbors were relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and he rushed into Heikki's yard, clutching a rosary, and prepared to scold him....he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Heikki, clutching a small bottle of holy water, which he carefully sprinkled of the grilling meat....he chanted;
You vuz born a deer...you vuz raised a deer....but now you is a walleye."
