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?" "No," I replied.
"I'm not doing drugs, either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued brisket?" 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?"
