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, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am well 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?'

That's what my friend Dave said "If I am not enjoying my life why make it longer?" He lived to be 86.
