An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up. 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.

"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never
misses a season.

One day when he was setting off hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and
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 couldn't shoot the magnificent
creature but out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if
it were his favourite 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"
