A little fishing humor

[westay]

Eino--a Finlander from Cook County in northern Minnesota-- was an older,
single gentleman who was born and raised a Lutheran. Each Friday night
after work, he would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak.
Now, all of Eino's neighbors were Catholic.....and since it was Lent, they
were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays. 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 Eino, and suggested that Eino convert to
Catholicism. After several classes and much study, Eino attended
Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over Eino, he said, "You
were born a Lutheran and raised a Lutheran, but now you are Catholic."

Eino's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and
the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Eino's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold Eino, he stopped in amazement and watched......

There stood Eino, clutching a small bottle of water which he carefully
sprinkled over the grilling meat, and chanted: "You were born a deer, and
raised a deer, but now you are a walleye."

She went out fish'n with the boys.
All she got was a Red Snapper.
