A friend recently turned 45 and had to choose a new primary care physician for my Bluecross program.
He found one, and after two visits and exhaustive lab tests, the doctor said he was doing 'fairly well' for his age.
A little concerned about that comment, he couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I will live to be 80?'
The doctor asked: Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?'
'Oh no,' he replied. 'I don't do drugs, either.'
'Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?'
'He said, 'No, I usually stay home and keep to myself'.
'Do you eat rib-eye steaks, Tri-Tip, or barbecued ribs?'
He said, 'No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like shooting guns, sailing, hiking,
or riding dirtbikes?'
'No, I don't,' he said.
'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of crazy sex?'
'No,' he said. 'I don't do any of those things either.'
The doctor looked at him and said, 'Then why do you give a shit if you live to see 80??
