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.
(I just turned sixty-one).
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 beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he 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.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'
'No,' I said...
He looked at me and said,..
'Then, why do you even give a chit?'
