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 65.) 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, '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, 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.
He looked at me and said,... 'Then, why do you even give a damn????

Cute. My grandmother made it to 86, died in her sleep on her couch in her own home. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed her cigarette after her dinner of steak & potatoes!

Mauriece, It’s so sad … it is funny. All doctors and the medical professional tell us is what NOT to do. Don’t do this because …you will die. News Flash … we are all going to die … so why not truly live until we do! I told you this before and I’m saying it again … I really appreciate your sex appeal.
