Walking On Water, Irish version
 

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 around, he and his pal Jim took a boat out into the middle of the lake. Paddy stepped out of the boat... and nearly drowned! Jim just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Paddy went to see his grandma. "Grandma," he asked, "Tis me 18th birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake like me father, his father, and his father before him?"

Granny looked deeply into Paddy's troubled blue eyes and said, "Because ye father, ye grandfather, and ye great-grandfather were all born in December, when the lake is frozen, and ye were born in August, ya fookin' idiot!"

That is good for at least one

badda-bump-de-bump-tiiiisssshhhh!

I'm glad I haven't gotten in trouble over it... Yet!

Nah, they don’t ban nice people or dog lovers. And you have both going for you!

Sorry, lakes don't freeze in Ireland.

See, I knew I would get in trouble sooner or later.:doh:

Good one. Thanks.

For a good joke anything is possible in Ireland. My mom was as Irish as Paddy's Pig. What a fun family they were all 13 children. If my mother said the lake was frozen we asked how deep it was frozen.

Thanks for the laugh CFRANCE.
