Want to 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, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer?"
"Oh no", I replied, "I've never done either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks with baked potatoes or barbequed ribs with French fries and cole slaw?"
I said, "No! Red meat is very unhealthy!"
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf or out fishing?" he asked.
"No I don't," I said. "It can cause skin cancer."
He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool around with sexy women?"
"No," I said, "I've never done any of those things."
He closed my chart, looked at me and said, "Then why in hell do you want to live to be 80?"
