MacArthur – I Can’t Walk on Water

Adm. Nimitz and Gen. MacArthur went fishing together. In a sudden squall, the boat capsized, and the eminent fighting men floundered helplessly in the water. When they reached the boat, the Admiral cautioned, “Now, Mac, don’t mention this to anyone. I’d be disgraced if the men of the Navy learned I can’t swim.” “Don’t worry,” MacArthur replied. “I’d hate to have my men find out I can’t walk on water.” (Maxwell Droke).
