WILL I LIVE TO BE 80

I recently picked 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?" "Oh no," I replied.

"I'm not doing drugs, either." Then he asked, "Do you
eat rib-eye steak and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No,
my other doctor said that all red meat is very
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." He looked at me and said,
"Then why do you give a damn?"

Cheers, Vince

Vince,
You need to be 60+ with a "condition" to fully appreciate the dark humor in that. Like most good jokes there must be a certin amount of truth to be truly good.
Cheers.
