Here's  something to think about.

I recently picked  a new primary care doctor.  After
two  visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was  doing
'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned  sixty-something.)


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 beer, wine  or hard liquor?'

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

Then  he 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?'

'No, I  don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble,  drive fast cars, or have
lots of  sex?'

'No,' I said...

He looked at  me and said,   'Then, why do you even  give a  damn?'
