Living at 80......
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:45 pm
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 @@@@ do you want to live to 80?
