Poor Ollie

All of his life Ollie had heard 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 day, they'd walk across the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink.

So, when Ollie's 21st birthday came around, he and his pal, Corky, took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Ollie stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned! Corky just managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Ollie went to see his grandmother. "Grandma, It's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake like my father, his father, and his father before him?"

Granny looked into Ollie's eyes and said, "Because, you dumb ass, your father, grandfather and great grandfather were born in January, you were born in July."
