Beaver hunting
A rich, eccentric 85-year-old man, went to his doctor for his annual checkup. The doctor asked how he was feeling and the old man said, "Life is absolutely terrific these days. I have a 23-year-old bride who's pregnant with my twins. So what do you think of that, Doc?
The doctor considered his question for a minute and then responded: "I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was heading off hunting, he was in a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake, he came across a large beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realized he'd left his gun at home so he couldn't shoot the creature, but out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it squarely at the animal as if it were his 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 85-year-old chuckled said, "If you ask me, I'd say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."
