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, he said I was doing 'fairly
 well' for my age. (I just turned 50.)
 
 
 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?
