The Point

"The Point"

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
realized 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."
