   A Jewish man moves into a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday the
Catholics go crazy because, while they're morosely eating fish, the Jew
is outside barbequing steaks. So the Catholics work on the Jew convert.
  Finally, by threats and pleading, the Catholics succeed. They take the
Jew to a priest who sprinkles holy water on the Jew and intones:
    "Born a Jew
     Raised a Jew
     Now a Catholic."
  The Catholics are ecstatic.  No more delicious but maddening smells
every Friday evening.  But the next Friday evening, the scent of
barbeque wafts through the neighborhood.  The Catholics all rush to the
Jew's house to remind him of his new duty.  They see him standing over
the cooking steak. He is sprinkling water on the meat and saying:
    "Born a cow
     Raised a cow
     Now a fish."
