Will I Live to see 80?....funny!
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 68)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him,
'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
The doctor responded by asking, '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, 'Not much since 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, go on vacations or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said, . . . 'Then, why do you even care?
