Subject: Bubba's 21st birthday
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!'.............
