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, 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
yara....
you are
a potato and tomato"!
