Will I live to be 90...???

[Eck]

 

(Here's something to think about.)

 

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am past 60).

 

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'

 

She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

 

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

 

Then she 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 or ride a motorcycle?'

 

'No, I don't,' I said.

 

She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

 

'No,' I said...

 

She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a crap?

I knew where that was headed. Good one

And, of course she was right. hahaha

'Oh Yes,' I replied. 'And I smoke marijuana regularly too!'

 

Then she asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

 

'I said, 'Almost every day ... it's my favorite food!'

 

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling or ride a motorcycle?'

 

'Yep, all of those as often as I can,' I said.

 

She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

 

'Yes, and especially the sex ... at least once a day,' I said...

 

She looked at me and said, 'Then, since you're not dead now, you have nothing to worry about!'
