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?"
