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 favorite
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, "Exactly."
