Will I Live to see 80?

[padi56]

Here's something to think about.


I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I will soon turn Sixty eight).


A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'




'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'



Then she 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.




She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'




'No,' I said not so much now...




She looked at me and said,..


'Then, why do you even give a sh#t how long you live?'
