Live to be 80
I recently picked a new primary care physician.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I
was doing "fairly well" for my age.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't
resist asking him "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"
He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink
beer/wine?"
"Oh no," I replied. "I've never smoked and rarely
drink.
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and
barbequed ribs?"
I said "No, I've heard that all red meat is very
unhealthy!"
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing
golf/tennis, sailing/ballooning/rock climbing ?" he asked.
"No, I don't," I said.
He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or sexually
fool around?"
"No," I said. "I've never done any of those things."
He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a
crap if you live to be 80?"
How you doin'!
