Fun Irish Joke - A Family Tradition

An Irish Family Tradition

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 'round, he and his pal Micky, took a boat out

 to the middle of the lake, Paddy, stepped out of the boat  ...and nearly drowned!

Micky  just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Paddy, went to see his grandmother.'Grandma,' he asked, "It's my 18th birthday, so why can't I walk

'cross the lake like my father, his father, and his father before him?"

Granny looked deeply into Paddy's, troubled brown eyes and said,

 "Because your father, your grandfather and your great grandfather

 were all born in December, when the lake is frozen, and you were

 born in August, ya dip shit.
