The Sikh, Tandoori & the Catholics
THURSDAY HUMOUR :
EACH Friday night after work, Sardarji would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of his neighbours were strict Catholics... And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.
The 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 Sardarji and suggested that he become a Catholic.
After several classesb and much study, Sardarji attended mass... And as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Sikh, and raised as a Sikh, but from now, you are a Catholic."
Sardarji's neighbours were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived.
The wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kebabs filled the neighbourhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbours and, as he rushed into Sardarji's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Sardarji, holding a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meats and chanted: "Oye, you were born a chicken, and you were born a lamb, you were raised as a chicken and you were raised as a lamb but now onwards you are a potato and you are a tomato."
IN LIFE , IF THERE IS A WILL : THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY!
