You Think I’ll Live To Be 80

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, 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 motor-cycles, drive fast cars, or have a lot of affairs?

‘No,’ I said.

He looked at me and said,.

‘Then, why do you want to live to 80 ?
