Each Friday night after work, Bubbal Singh would fire up his outdoor
grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of
Bubbal's neighbors 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 Bubbal, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After
several classes and much study, Bubbal 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."
Bubbal's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived,
and 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 Bubbal's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to
scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Bubbal,
clutching 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 "!
