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 am turning sixty three in nine months time.)
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 spirits?
'Oh no,' I replied (Lying naturally). 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat steaks and other red meat?
I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' (Steak tonight)
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said. (Two week holiday in the sun coming up).
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 shit?
Loved it, FE
