Subject: 80 or Bust
"You can discover more about a man in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." -- Plato
Will I Live to see 80?
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 65).
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 a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said...
He looked at me and said,..
'Then, why do you even give a shit?’

That is a good point. My new doctor is not all that happy that I smoke a pipe and pointed out some issues I had not thought about but understands I am not about to stop so is leaving it alone.

A 96-year old man went to see his doctor for a check-up. His doctor says, "You're in amazing shape for your age!"

The oldfella' says, "I have a 28-year old girlfriend, doc! What do you think about that?"

The doctor looks a little surprised.

The oldfella' continues, "Yep! And she's pregnant, too! She's going to have my baby!"

The doctor thinks for a minute, and says, "I have a buddy who was out hunting, using only a broomstick. He was getting ready to shoot a beaver, so he raised the broomstick and yelled, 'BANG!' What do think about that?"

The oldfella' says, "I'd say that someone else shot that beaver!"

The doctor says, "That's exactly my point!"
