An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly checkup.
The doctor asked him how he was feeling and the 80-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?"
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 80-year-old said, "If you ask me, I'd say somebody else pumped a
couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly.
