During his annual checkup, an 80-year-old man was beaming with pride as he shared the news with his doctor. “I’ve never been better!” he exclaimed. “I’ve got a 23-year-old bride who’s pregnant, and we’re having a child! What do you think about that?”
The doctor took a moment to consider the situation before responding with a clever anecdote. “Let me tell you a story about a hunter who never missed a season,” he began. “One day, he was in a hurry and accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun.”
The doctor continued, “As he was walking through the woods, a grizzly bear suddenly appeared in front of him! He raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle.” The doctor paused for dramatic effect before asking, “Do you know what happened next?”
The old man was taken aback, “No.” The doctor concluded, “The bear dropped dead in front of him!” The old man was incredulous, “That’s impossible! Someone else must have shot that bear.” The doctor smiled wryly, “That’s kind of what I’m getting at…”
