" 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 ?"
The physician asked ," Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine ?"
" Oh no, " I replied, " I don't do either."
Then he asked , " Do you eat ribeye steaks and barbecued ribs ?"
I said, "No, my other doctor said 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 lots of sex ?"
"No, I don't do any of those things ," I replied.
He looked at me and said , "Then why do you give a sh** if you live to be 80 ?"
The reality of it all
