The Wealthy Old Man

   He was very wealthy and very old - in fact, he was about to celebrate
his eighty-third birthday.  He went to the doctor for a checkup.  The
doctor gave him a complete physical and then said, "For a man who's about
to be eighty-three, you're in marvelous shape.  But why a physical just a
day before your birthday?"
   The wealthy old man explained that that very afternoon he was going to
marry an eighteen-year old girl.
   The doctor tried with a great deal of effort to dissuade him.  "I'm
going ahead with it no matter what," the old man said.  "Got any other
suggestions, Doc?"
   "Just one.  If you want a really peaceful marriage, I suggest that you
take in a boarder."
   The old man thought about it and said that it sounded like a good idea.
   The next time the doctor met the old man it was at a fund-raising affair,
half a year later.  The old man came up to him and said, "Doctor,
congratulate me! My wife is pregnant!"
   The doctor tried to maintain his poise, and said, "Well, so at least you
followed my good advice and took in a boarder."
   "Oh, sure," said the old man, with a wicked grin, "and the boarder's
pregnant as well!"
