Immortality

I recently picked a new primary care physician.


After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age.


A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"


He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?"


"Oh no," I replied. "I've never done either."


Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"


I said, "No, I've heard that all red meat is very unhealthy!"


"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, ballooning, or rock climbing?"


"No, I don't," I said.


He said, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or sexually fool around?"


"No," I said. "I've never done any of those things."


He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a shit if you live to be 80?"
