At 72 years of age, a man picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, the Doctor said the man was doing ‘fairly well’ for his age.
A little concerned about that comment, the man couldn’t resist asking him, “Do you think I’ll live to be 80?”
The Doctor asked, “Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?”
“Oh no,” the man replied. “I’m not doing drugs, either!”
Then the Doctor asked, “Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?”
“No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!”
“Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?”
“No, I don’t,” the man replied.
The Doctor then asked, “Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?”
“No,” the man said proudly.
The Doctor looked at the man. And, after a slight pause, he said, “Then, why do you even give a shit?!”
