Each Friday night after work, Bubbal Singh would fire up his outdoor
grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some lamb meat kababs.
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 again the wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kababs 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 chicken and 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 you are a tomato"!!
