A man picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, the doctor told him he was doing "fairly well" for his age.
A little concerned about that comment, the man couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"
The doctor asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer?" "Oh no", he replied, "I've never done either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and bar-b-qued ribs?
He responded, "No, I've heard that all "red meat" is very unhealthy!"
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf?" he asked.
"No I don't,"
He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool around with sexy women?",
"No," he said, "I've never done any of those things."
The doctor looked at him and said, "Then why would you want to live to be 80?" |
