The Old Man and the Beaver
An 86-year-old man went to his doctors for his annual check-up.
The doctor asked him how he was feeling and the 86-year-old man said:-
"Things are great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride and she's pregnant with my child. So what do you think of 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, but in a bit of a hurry he accidentally picked up his walking stick 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 but out of habit, raised his stick, aimed it at the beaver and went 'Bang, Bang'. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the Beaver fell over dead. Now what do you think of that?" the doctor asked the 86-year-old man.
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"
