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.

"Granny," he asked, "it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the lake like
my pappy, his pappy, and his pappy before him?"

Granny looked deeply into Bubba's troubled eyes and said, "Because your pappy,
your grandpappy and your great grandpappy were born in January, when the lake i
s frozen, and you were born in July, you f__ckin' idiot."
