An 86-yr old goes to the doctor…

Some humor to start off the day with a smile.

An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up…

When asked how he was feeling, the 86-year-old replied, “Things are just 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 second and then began to tell a story.

‘I have an elderly 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’.’

‘Incredibly, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what do you think of that?’ asked the Doctor.

The 86-year-old thought for a minute and said: ‘Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver.’

The Doctor replied, ‘My point exactly’
