Beaver Hunting....

[Richard Z]

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 realized 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 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 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".
