My point exactly

A variation on an old joke
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.
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 86-year-old said,
‘Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped
a couple of rounds into that beaver.'
The doctor replied……….
