Walking on Water Back Home / Back to Redneck
Thanks to Lisa for sending this one!
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 around, 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, and you were born
in July, you
idiot!'
