An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up.
The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said ,"Things are
great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20-year-old bride who is pregnant
with my child. So what do you think about that, Doc?"
The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a story.
"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a
season. One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry, he
accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake,
he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realized
he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature. Out
of habit, he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it were his favorite
hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the
beaver fell over dead."Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor.
The 86-year-old said, "Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a
couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."
