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 dumbass '.
