A Minnesota Story

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

Furious and confused, Ole 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 Ole's eyes and said, "Because, you dumb butt, your father, grandfather and great grandfather were born in January. You were born in July."
