An 86-year-old man went to his doctor...

An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said, "Things are great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that Doc?" 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, "My point exactly." [Not OC of course, but I haven't seen this posted here yet.]

88-Year-Old Man Jailed After Nursing Home Shooting.

SEAL BEACH, Calif. (Nov. 21) -- An 86-year-old woman was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in her bed at a Southern California nursing home Sunday, and her husband of nearly seven decades was found sitting next to her and arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.

Reports of gunshots at Country Villa Healthcare Center came at about noon, and within a few minutes officers arrived from the California Highway Patrol, Orange County Sheriff's Department and three local police departments, Seal Beach police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

A tactical team surrounded the facility and soon entered. Inside they found Clara Laird dead of a single gunshot wound to the head, and found her husband Roy Charles Laird in a nearby chair, Bowles said. Officers recovered a .38 caliber revolver from Roy Laird.

"It was in his pocket," Bowles said, and added Laird gave no trouble to officers who arrested him.Laird was being held at Seal Beach jail Sunday night.

The scene at the nursing home was "chaotic" on a weekend afternoon with many visitors in addition to patients and staff, Bowles said.

Bowles could offer no information on the motive or health of the couple, nor say whether any trouble had been reported between them.

"They were married for almost 70 years," he said.

Report: Robert Mugabe's Wife Cheated With Top Aide.

(Oct. 25) -- He's a brutal despot, known for murdering opponents and starving his country into submission. Yet despite his outrageous cruelty, it seems that Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is still a fool for love. The 86-year-old president is said to be "devastated" after discovering that his wife Grace, 45 -- known locally as Dis Grace, First Shopper and Grasping Grace for her love of lavish foreign shopping sprees -- allegedly conducted a five-year affair with one of his closest friends, 50-year-old central bank boss Gideon Gono, reports South Africa's Sunday Times. Members of Zimbabwe's security apparatus told the paper that Mugabe first heard about the relationship in July, when his sister Sabina revealed the scandal on her deathbed. His most trusted bodyguard, senior police commissioner Cain Chademana, then reportedly told Mugabe that he had also heard rumors of an affair but had decided not to worry his boss with the news. That confession may have sealed Chademana's fate: He died in late August after "'a short illness" but is widely believed to have been poisoned. One anonymous security official -- outraged by the alleged murder of his colleague -- told the Times that Mugabe decided to kill Chademana to stop news of the affair spreading. "Gono is his personal banker, knows Mugabe's financial secrets and is trusted," the source said. "And there he is betraying the old man. It would be too humiliating and could not be allowed to stand." It will be harder to dispatch Gono, the paper notes, as he manages Mugabe's vast offshore fortune and is a powerful figure within the southern African nation.
