The old man and the Beaver
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
realised 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."
