On Changing Identities...


A Jewish man moves into a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday during Lent, the Catholics are driven crazy because, while they're grumpily eating fish, the Jewish Man is outside grilling steaks.

So the Catholics work on the Jewish man to convert him to Catholicism. Finally, after a lot of pressure and much arguing, the Catholics succeed. They take the Jewish man to a priest who sprinkles holy water on him and says, "Born a Jew, Raised a Jew, Now a Catholic."

The Catholics are ecstatic. No more tempting smells! They sit down for dinner the next Friday evening, but the scent of grilled meat spreads through the neighborhood. The Catholics all rush to the Jewish Man's house to remind him of his new diet. 

They see him standing over the grille cooking steak. He is sprinkling water on the meat and saying, "Born a cow, Raised a cow, Now a fish!"
