Will I Live To See 90 Years Old?

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 seventy-one.)



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!'



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 fast cars, or have lots of sex?'
'No,' I said....







He looked at me and said....'Then, why do you even give a damn ?
