Newfies turn 21
Newfoundlanders had heard stories of an amazing
family tradition. It seems that Len's 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 Len's 21st birthday came around, he
and his pal Corky took a boat out to the middle
of the lake. Len stepped out of the boat and nearly
drowned! Corky just managed to pull him to safety.
Furious and confused, Len 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 Len's eyes and said, "Because, ya
dummy , yur faudder, grandfaudder and great
grandfaudder wuz born in January, you wuz
born in July."
