Too good…
Each Friday night after
work, Santa Singh would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken
and some meat kebabs. But, all of his neighbours were strict Catholics ... and since
it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled
meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally
talked to their Priest.
The Priest came to visit Santa, and
suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study,
Santa attended Mass ... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he
said, "You were
born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now dear, you are a Catholic."
Santa's neighbors were greatly relieved,
until Friday night arrived.
The wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken
and meat kebabs filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by
the neighbors and, as he rushed into Santa's backyard, clutching a rosary and
prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood
Santa, holding a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over
the grilling meats and chanted:
"Oye, you
waz born a chicken, and you waz born a lamb,
you waz raised
a chicken, and you waz raised a lamb
but now
dears.... you are a potato and tomato"!
-- Singh is
King...
