An extremely wealthy 80-year-old arrived for his annual check-up and smiled when the doctor enquired about his health. “Never better,” he announced proudly. “I’ve taken an 18-year-old bride, and she’s pregnant. What do you think of that?” The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, “I once knew a guy who was an avid hunter. One day he slept in, and in the subsequent rush, he dashed out with his umbrella instead of his rifle.” “Go on, doc,” said the old-timer “Deep in the woods, he faced a huge, angry bear, raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?” Dumbfounded, the old codger shook his head. “The bear fell dead in front of him.” “That’s impossible,” exclaimed the old man in disbelief. “Someone else must have been doing the shooting.” Sighing, the doctor gave his patient a friendly pat on the back. “That’s what I’m getting at.”
