Living to 80 years old
« on: October 01, 2014, 11:00:48 AM »
HERE'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
 
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned "seventy- ish").
 
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, wine or hard liquor?"

"Oh no," I replied. "and I'm not doing drugs, either!"

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

I said, "Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!"

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

"No, I don't," I said.
 
He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have lots of sex?"
 
"No," I said.
 
He looked at me and said, "Then, why do you even give a shit?"
