OK. This one had pictures, originally. A photo of a doctor, bending
over an old man in a hospital bed, aphoto of a young, pregnant woman
standing on the beach etc. Well-chosen, perhaps, but a waste of KBs all
the same, IMO. So words is all I'm sending and hope you'll enjoy the
story even though it's not illustrated...
From: N.N.
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.
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 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.'
