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.

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 85?'

He asked, '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, barbecued ribs or sausage?'

I said, 'No, 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, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

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

'No,' I said.

He looked at me and said,


'Then, why do you even give a ****?'

he he...you bet ...

...if you don't do any of those things you're already dead...
