Who wants to live forever?

Recommended Posts

I recently picked 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, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer?"

 

"Oh no", I replied, "I've never done either."

 

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and bar-b-qued ribs?

 

I said, "No, I've heard that all 'red meat' is very unhealthy!"

 

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf?"

he asked.

 

"No I don't," I said.

 

He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool around with

sex?"

 

"No," I said, "I've never done any of those things."

 

He looked at me and said, "Then why in hell do you want to live

to 80?"
