Joke No. 160

Bob heard a rumor that his father, grandfather and great
grandfather had all walked on water on their 21st birthdays
�So, on his 21st birthday, Bob and his good friend Brian
headed out to the lake. "If they did it, I can too!" he insisted.

When Bob and Brian arrived at the lake, they rented a boat
and began paddling. When they got to the middle of the lake,
Bob stepped off of the side of the boat ... and nearly drowned.

When he tried to climb back into the boat, he tipped it, and
Brian also nerly drowned. Hanging on to the capsized boat,
they slowly pushed it back to shore.

When Bob arrived back at the family farm, he asked his
grandmother for an explanation. "Grandma, why can I not
walk on water like my father, and his father, and his father
before him did on their 21st birthday?"

The feeble old grandmother took Bob by the hands, looked
into his eyes, and explained, "That's because your father,
grandfather, and great-grandfather were born in January.
You were born in May."
