----------------------------------- BRAIN53 Wed 19 Sep, 2007 Will I live to be 80? ----------------------------------- Some times you just have to ask yourself " Will I live to be 80?" I recently chose a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. 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 alcoholic beverages?" "No," I replied. "I don't do drugs, either." Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!" "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, fishing or relaxing at the beach?" "No, I don't," I said. He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?" "No," I said. "I don't do any of those things." Then he looked at me and asked, "Then why do you give a shit?". ----------------------------------- hbgator Wed 19 Sep, 2007 Re: Will I live to be 80? ----------------------------------- well I may reach 60 :D ----------------------------------- Mop Fri 21 Sep, 2007 Re: Will I live to be 80? ----------------------------------- I sometimes feel like i'm already 80.....I need more of the bad stuff...and more sex... :wink:
