All of his life, Rab from Inverness 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 loch to the boat club for their first legal drink. So when Rab's 21st birthday came around, he and his pal Popeye took a boat out to the middle of the loch. Rab stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned!. Popeye just managed to pull him to safety.
Furious and confused, Rab went to see his grandmother.
"Grandma, it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk across the loch like my father, his father, and his father before him?"
Granny looked into Rab's eyes and said, "Because, you idiot, your father, grandfather and great grandfather were born in January, you were born in July."
;D
