**** Will I make it to 80 years of age? *****
====================================

I recently turned 65 and had to choose a new primary care
physician for my Medicare program.

After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said:

“You’re doing ‘fairly well’ for your age.”

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking
him, "Do you think I will live to be 80?"

He asked: “Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?"

"Oh no”, I replied. "I don't do drugs, either."



"Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?"

"I said, "No, I usually stay home and keep to myself".

"Do you eat T-bone 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,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"

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

"Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

"No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."

He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a #$%@?”
