What about the person who put the sign there?!

No peeing in it either.

And no turning it into wine.

Never bad advice for someone trying to climb the corporate ladder – “Don’t upstage the boss’ son.”

meh

So he stands on the sea / And he shouts to the shore. / But the longer that he shouts / the more that he’s ignored. — from a Tom Paxton song

Go to the Sea of Galilee.

Shouldn’t that say Thou Shalt not

I’m imagining the clutter, of hoards of people walking on water, if not for the sign forbidding it.

what about parting??

From SNL 10/20/84

Jesse Jackson was complaining about the bad press he received during the primary coverage. He cited his fishing trip with the Pope as an example.

He was in the boat with the Pope when a big wind blew off the Papal hat. Jackson told the Pope don’t worry I shall get the hat, and he stepped out of the boat, walked on water, picked up the hat, and walked back on the water. In a nearby boat the press were watching over Jesse’s walking on water with great interest and in their typical way they announced this in the front page headlines the next day:

Jesse Can’t Swim

‘No Messiah Zone’.

How about behind a boat at 40 mph?

“Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water”. Suzanne by Leonard Cohen.

If you do, take off that heavy robe….

I wonder if Jesus obeys signs.

Hmmm, I just wanted to soak my corns…shucks?

So I guess floats and water skiing are out.

There goes his plans for barefoot skiing

Doubt if he could do it on his best day…..

More concerning – who put that sign up and why?

…not even in the winter?…

Jealousy is bad.

Sign outside a church: “Today’s sermon: Jesus walks on the water”. Tomorrow’s sermon: “Searching for Jesus”.

damn why go in then!
