Can You Walk on Water???
Buddy 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 Buddy's 21st Birthday came around, he and his pal Larry Bob took a boat out to the middle of the lake, Buddy stepped out of the boat....and nearly drowned! Larry Bob just barely managed to pull him to safety.
Furious and confused, Buddy 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 Buddy'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 dumb ass!
