WILL I LIVE TO 80...


 
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.  After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am past sixty five).
 
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80 ?'
 
She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor ?'
 
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either !'
 
Then she 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.
 
She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex ?'
 
'No,' I said...
 
She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shit ?'

Thanks Marc
