I got this joke from my friend Wally G:<\/p>\n
This is something to think seriously about.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Will I Live to see 80?
\nI recently picked a new primary care doctor.\u00a0 After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well’ for my age. (I just turned 60.)
\nA little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ‘Do you think I’ll live to be 80?’
\nHe asked, ‘Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine, indulge in chocolate or coffee?’
\n‘Oh no,’ I replied.\u00a0 ‘I’m not doing drugs, either!’
\nThen he asked, ‘Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
\nI said, ‘Not much…. my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!’
\n‘Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?’ He asked.
\nNo, I don’t,’ I said.
\nHe asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?’
\n‘No,’ I said.<\/p>\n
He looked at me and said…\u00a0 ‘Then, why do you even give a shit?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got this joke from my friend Wally G: This is something to think seriously about.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Will I Live to see 80?
