Thread: Will I live to be 80?

    Will I live to be 80?

    I recently chose 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, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?"

    "No," I replied. "I don't do drugs, either."

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

    I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is 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. "I don't do any of those things."

    Then he looked at me and asked,

    "Then why do you give a shit if you live to be 80?"

    My brother has some quote he likes to use about felling bad for those who don't drink, because when they wake up in the morning they feel as good as they will all day.
