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 (I am in my mid fifties).
Being a little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 90?"
He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?"
Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either."
"Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"
I replied, "Not much. My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy."
The doctor then asked, "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"
I replied, "No, I don't!"
He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have lots of sex?"
"No," I responded!
He looked at me and said...
"Then, why do you even give a shit?"
