An old Jew retired and moved to a mostly Catholic neighborhood.
He had a habit of cooking out on Fridays and the smell of his steaks was distracting to the neighbors.
They asked him on several occasions not to cook beef outdoors on Fridays, but to no avail.
Eventually the parish priest came up with the idea of convincing the Jew to convert since then he would no longer be allowed to eat beef on Friday.
It took quite some time, but eventually the old Jew agreed and the priest sprinkled him with holy water, saying, "Born a Jew, raised a Jew, now a Catholic."
The next Friday the neighbors were looking forward to not being tormented by the smell of the old man's cookout and were dismayed to encounter it again.
Going over to his house to have words with him, they found him sprinkling water on the steaks, saying, "Born a cow, raised a cow, now a fish."
