Will I Live to see 80 something?

Will  I Live to see 80 something?

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 sixty-five).

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, 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 a lot of sex?'

'No,' I  said...

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