80?









Will I Live to see 80? *



* 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.*



* 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, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'*



* 'No,' I said. *



He looked at me and said,.... 'Then, why do you even give a shit?
