An 80-year
old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him
how he was feeling.
"I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've
got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant and having my
child! What do you think about that?"
The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let
me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He
never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of
a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of
his gun." The doctor continued,
"So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear
appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed
it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what
happened?" the doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied, "No."
The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front
of him!"
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone
else must have shot that bear."
"That's kind of what I'm getting at," replied
the doctor.
