No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
I can't take credit for this one, but I enjoyed it and thought I should pass it along...
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-five).
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 ribeye steaks and barbecued ribs?
'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that 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 or drive fast cars?'
'No,' I said...
He looked at me and said,..
'Then, why do you even care?'
