\nWill I Live to see 80?
\nHere’s something to think about.
\nI recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
\nexhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well’ for my age.
\nA little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ‘Do
\nyou think I’ll live to be 80?’
\nHe asked, ‘Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?’
\n‘Oh no,’ I replied. ‘I’m not doing drugs, either!’
\nThen he asked, ‘Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
\n‘I said, ‘No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!’
\nDo you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking,
\nor bicycling?’ ‘No, I don’t,’ I said.
\nHe asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?’
\n‘No,’ I said
\nHe looked at me and said,….
\n‘Then, why do you even give a shit?\n<\/div>\n
