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?"
"Oh no", I replied, "I've never done either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and
bar-b-qued 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?" he asked.
"No I don't," I said.
He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool
around with sexy women?",
"No," I said, "I've never done any of those things."
He look at me and said, "Then why in hell do you want
to live to be 80 ??".
