Title: As only the Irish can tell a story!!!!!
Post by: Keefie on September 27, 2013, 03:23:36 am

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 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 .


"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           
 f.....g idiot!"
