The Hunter
« on: November 22, 2012, 10:26:37 AM »
An  86-year-old very wealthy 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 yr-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, 'Need I say anymore?'
