Will I Live to see 80?
Here's something to think about.
Like I Said 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 just turned sixty-something.)
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 Quite Smoking '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
Lots of sex?'
'No,' I said...
She looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a shit?
