This reminds me of a story i once heard:

It took years of hints, suggestions and finally outright threats, but old Joe was finally convinced to convert to Catholicsm by his neighbors.

At the baptism ceremony on Sunday the priest said "Joe, you were born a Protestant and you were raised a Protestant, but with this annointing you are now a Catholic."

The following friday his neighbors noticed the smell of cooking meat wafting from Joes back yard. Their curiosity aroused, they finally peeked over the fence where they saw Joe barbequing several large venison steaks.

As the neighbors debated the scandalous heresy of a recently converted Catholic eating meat on a friday, Joe was heard to say: "You were born a deer, you were raised a deer, but with this annointing you are now a fillet of sole."
