An 87-year-old man was visiting his doctor for his yearly check-up.
“So Mr Johnson, how are you doing?” the doctor enquired.
“Doctor, I’ve never felt better,” Mr. Johnson responded. “I’ve even married my 20-year-old girlfriend recently, and she’s now pregnant with my child. So, how about that then?”
The doctor considered this momentarily, and then said, “Let me tell you a story, Mr. Johnson.
A friend of mine was an avid hunter. One day he went out in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking stick instead of his rifle.”
“Really?” said Mr. Johnson.
“Yes,” said the doctor. “Anyway, he was in the woods when suddenly a very large grizzly bear appeared in front of him. He raised his stick, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?”
Dumbfounded, the old man said, “No Doc, what?”
“The bear dropped dead in front of him,” the doctor replied.
“No Doc, that can’t be right.” said the old man. “That’s impossible! Someone else must have shot the bear.”
The doctor smiled, and said, “Exactly!"
