A man was told that both his father and grandfather had been able to walk on water on their twenty-first birthdays. Hoping some of the luck had passed down to him, he took his boat out on the pond, stepped overboard, and sunk. Again and again he tried to walk on water, and came home a bedraggled failure.
"Hey, mom! I'm twenty-one today, and I can't walk on water! My ancestors did! What's the deal?"
"Son, they were born in January..."

A man is lucky enough to discover a dog that can walk on water. He takes a pessimistic friend on a fishing trip to show him this dog's excellent talents.
On the boat, the pessimist complains constantly, about his life, the heat, the possibility of a leak, and about the dog-smell.
"Sir," said his friend, "I'm going to show you that life isn't as bad as you think, and miracles can happen. This dog can walk on water!" So, at a word from its master, the dog climbs out of the boat, and walks on the surface of the lake.
"Humph," says the pessimist. "You bought a dog that can't swim?"
