Bubba had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition. It

seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been

able to walk on water on their 21st birthday. On that special day,

they'd each walked

across the lake to the bar on the far side for their first legal

drink.

So when Bubba's 21st birthday came a round, he and his pal Jim Bob

took a boat out to the middle of the lake, Bubba stepped out of the

boat ...and nearly drowned! Jim Bob just barely managed to pull him to

safety.

Furious and confused, Bubba went to see his grandmother.

'Grandma,' he asked, 'it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk

'cross the lake like my pappy, his father, and his father before him?'

Granny looked deeply into Bubba's troubled eyes and said, 'Because

your father, your grandfather and your great grandfather were born in

January, when the lake is frozen, and you were born in July, you

dummy. ;D

I've been snookered! All this time Muddy has been telling me he could walk on water. Now I know the truth. :
