Living to 80

[X5Sport]

I recently visited my doctor for a complete health check.

After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just reached 61).

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, wine or hard liquor?

'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, boating, 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 said...

He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why the f--- do you want to live to 80?

Good point......

Though whether I will still be able to hold a proper (ie not a Nikon  >:D ) DSLR with appropriate 'glass' fitted at 80 remains to be seen......

What are you talking about man!  With nipper on the way and in time grand kids, your arms will get loads of exercise lifting them.
