Straight shooter

One day a 75 year old man arrived for his monthly check up and smiled when the doctor asked about his health.

“I have never felt better,” said the old man, “I have taken an 20 year old bride, and she is pregnant. What do you think of that?”

After a moment the doctor said, “I once knew a guy who was an avid hunter. One day he slept in late, and in the rush to go out he took his umbrella instead of his rifle. When he got deep into the woods he suddenly came face to face with a huge bear. He raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. Do you know what happened then?”

“No, what happened?” replied the old man.

“The bear fell dead in front of him!” said the doctor.

“That’s impossible,” replied the old man, “Somebody else must have been doing the shooting!”

“Now you’ve got my message!” said the doctor.
