Itchy Feet

Care of one of my lawyers' inbox:

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.

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.

Granny looked into Len's eyes and said, "Because your father, grandfather and great grandfather were born in January, you were born in July."
