The doctor asked the man how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said, โThings are great, and Iโve never felt better! I now have a 20-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that, doc?โ
The doctor considered the question for a minute, and then began to tell a story.
โI 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.โ
โAs he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the waterโs edge. He realized he left his gun at home, and so, he couldnโt shoot the magnificent creature. Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it was his favorite hunting rifle, and yelled โbang bangโ. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell dead.โ
โNow, what do you think of that?โ asked the doctor.
The 86-year-old replied, โLogic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a few rounds into that beaver.โ
The doctor replied, โMy point exactly.โ
