Paddy 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 18th birthday. On that special day, they'd each walked
across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink.
So when Paddy's, 18th birthday came 'round, he and his pal Mick, took a boat
out to the middle of the lake, Paddy, stepped out of the boat ...and nearly
drowned! Mick just barely managed to pull him to safety. Furious and
confused, Paddy, went to see his grandmother. “Granny,” he asked, "it's me
18th birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the lake like me fa, his fa, and
his fa before him?"
Granny looked deeply into Paddy's, troubled brown eyes and said, "Because
your fa, your grandfa and your great grandfa were all born in December, when
the lake is frozen, and you were born in August, ya dip shit!
