Will I Live To Be 80?

I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab test, 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 or wine?"

"Oh no", I replied. "I've never done either."

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No, I heard that all red meat is very unhealthy."

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf / sailing / ballooning / motorcycling / rock climbing?"

"No I don't", I said.

He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or sexually fool around?"

"No", I said. "I have never done any of those things."

He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a slime if you live to be 80?"

    A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking

    him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"

    He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?" "Oh no,"
    I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either!"

    Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
    I said, "No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very
    unhealthy!"

    "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf,
    sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"

    "No, I don't," I said.

    He asked, "Do you gamble, d rive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"
    "No," I said.

    He looked at me and said, "Then, why do you even give a hoot!!?"

    A 75 year-old man goes to his doctor for a check-up.
    Doctor: "You're doing fairly well for your age."
    Patient: "You think I'll live to be 80?"
    Doctor: "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer?"
    Patient: "No, I've never done either."
    Doctor: "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"
    Patient: "No, red meat is unhealthy!"
    Doctor: "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, such as playing golf?"
    Patient: "No, I don't."
    Doctor: "Do you gamble, drive fast cars or fool around with sexy women?"
    Patient: "No, never!"
    Doctor: "Then why the hell do you want to live to be 80?"
