Will I live to see 80?
Will I Live to see 80? Here's something to think about.

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits andexhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (Ijust turned 60.)

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 or wine?'
'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, sailing, hiking,or bicycling?'' No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said.



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

Don't mess with Old Farts - age, skill, wisdom, and alittle treachery,
always overcomes youth and arrogance....
