A rich old man of 88 married a beautiful young girl of 23 and it wasn’t long before she was expecting a baby.
Overjoyed at the news, the old man was taken aside by his kindly doctor, who had known his patient for a long time and was concerned for his well-being.
“Listen, Jack, it’s about the baby. Let’s see if I can explain what I mean. There was a big game hunter who’d spent all his life in Africa, but was now really to old to last the distance. He decided to go out one last time, but being so absent,minded, instead of his gun, he took his walking stick with him. Time went by, when suddenly a man-eating lion confronted the man he lifted his stick and shot the animal dead.”
“But, that cant be!” cried the patient. “Someone else must have shot it.”
“Absolutely,” replied the doctor. “That’s what I’m trying to tell you.”
