An 82-year-old man named Brian went to his doctor for his yearly check-up…
The doctor asked “Brian, how are you feeling these days” and the 82-year-old said, “things are great, and I’ve never felt better! I now have a 22-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that, doc?”
The doctor considered the question for a minute, and then began to tell a story.
“Well Brian, I have a friend a little older and much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. Last year 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 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 was his favorite hunting rifle, and yelled ‘bang bang’. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over immediately.”
“Now Brian, what do you think of that?” asked the doctor.
The 82-year-old replied, “logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a few rounds into that beaver.”
The doctor replied, “my point exactly.”
