Will I Live to see 80?

 

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  sixty-something.)

 

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.  '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?
