HMMMMMM
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 80?"
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 and barbecued ribs?"
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, 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 shit?"
