Jesus Walks on a Wave Pool

There once was a boy named Jesus who, despite being a show-off, was the most popular boy in school. The only person who doubted Jesus’ coolness was a boy named Peter, who thought he was smarter than everyone around him and therefore would constantly question everything. On a class trip to Raging Waters, their teacher assigned each student a buddy and Jesus was assigned to Peter. Peter wanted to go swim in the wave pool but Jesus wanted to stay back to woo the ladies with his chiseled abs so he told Peter to go on ahead. While Jesus was busy flexing, the wave-pool that Peter was swimming in started to malfunction. The wave pool’s timer was broken and the swimmers were being bombarded with giant wave after giant wave. Peter was struggling to stay above the water as waves crashed down on his head time after time. As Jesus was doing his “sexy jog” past the wave pool (followed by a crowed of goggling girls) he caught a glimpse of Peter coming up for air. Not hesitating to take advantage of an opportunity to show of his water-walking skills, Jesus stepped out onto the waves, relishing the oohs and ahhhs of his spectators. When Peter saw Jesus, his face contorted into an expression of disbelief as he thought, “ there is no way the surface tension of H2O can sustain the forced due to gravity exerted on Jesus’ mass. Confusing Peter’s bafflement with fear, Jesus said to him in his deepest, manliest voice, “It is I, do not be afraid, ” which was followed by a quick wink at Mary Magdalene, who was watching from the edge of the pool. Jesus, knowing full well that there was no way Peter was going to be able to walk on water, told Peter to stop swimming and walk towards him. Peter did stop swimming, but instead of walking on the water he just sunk. Jesus dived in to save him and was greeted with an eruption of cheers as he emerged from the water, Peter in his arms. The crowd was filled with awe and on the bus ride back to school Mary Magdalene said to Jesus, “Truly you are the coolest boy in school.”
