				 The Beaver and the Gun .... 
 An oldie, but a goodie ........
 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 to go  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 drinking 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  favourite 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."
