When All Other Possibilities Have Been Ruled Out

After marrying a much younger woman, a 93-year-old man visited his doctor and announced they were expecting a baby.
“Let me tell you a story,” said the doctor.  “An absent-minded fellow went hunting, but instead of a gun, he picked up an umbrella.  Suddenly a lion charged him.  Pointing his umbrella at the lion, he shot and killed the animal on the spot.”
“Impossible!” exclaimed the old man.  “Somebody must have shot from the side!”
“Exactly,” replied the doctor.  –Jeff Manevich

Things are usually as they appear, but not always.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
