I recently chose 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 90?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?'

'No,' I replied. 'I don't do drugs, either.'

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

I said, 'No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating,

fishing or relaxing in the beach?'

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

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

'No,' I said. 'I don't do any of those things.'

Then he looked at me and asked,

'Then why do you give a shit?'
