WILL I SEE 80

 My Dad sent over this one.


Will I Live to see 80?
Here's something to think about.

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 just turned sixty-two).

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 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 do you even give a shit?
